Wildlife is part of the rhythm of the land. You might wake to the soft thump of kangaroos grazing near your cabin or spot emus striding across open plains as morning light spills over the ridgelines. Echidnas shuffle through leaf litter, wallabies dart between shadows and parrots flash colour through the canopy.

The air carries birdsong. Magpies warble, cockatoos call and rosellas chatter from the treetops. Along walking trails and quiet roads you may glimpse a shingleback lizard warming itself in the sun or hear the rustle of a possum settling in for the day. Every encounter feels like a moment shared not taken.

At Rosehaven Farms you can meet miniature donkeys, feed alpacas and sheep and enjoy a hands-on experience that brings you close to the heart of country life. For those seeking connection on horseback Grampians Horse Riding Centre offers guided trail rides through stunning bushland.
