Warrook Farm (Historic Homestead)
đ Monomeith, VIC
Warrook Farm is a genuine working homestead offering guided farm tours with cow milking, sheep shearing demonstrations, animal feeding, and tractor-pulled wagon rides across large acreage.
What an amazing experience! This place is deceiving from the road side but opens up quite large in the back with acres and more acres of animals. You will have such a great hands on experience here, you have got to try the tour to get the full effect of the physical activities. You will jump on a wagon driven by a well educated and experienced informative staff member who is ready to answer all your questions and explain all information needed. We had Jess and she was absolutely terrific. We took our four kids and it definitely blow their minds, though the experience is for all agers i even seen some senior's enjoying themselves. My kids loved the first stop especially because you could actually feed the little calves milk. I think everyone was loving that. So much to see and do here with Jess our tour guide explaining everything and even demonstrating. She actually sheared a whole sheep right in front of us , and now we have a much better understanding of wool and products made by the oils and so on. You will be absolutely amazed, the well trained dogs rounding up the sheep in big groups and making them travel from 200 - 300 metres away to right in front of us. Whip cracking! Here they will teach you how to crack a whip and you can try it out yourself. I got it in the end its not easy but very fun. So many birds and wildlife animals to see alpacas to wombats to camel's! Who would of thought you would see a camel out in the open and you can feed all of them. More animals include buffalo's, emus, donkey's, ponies, farm working dogs, kangaroos, koalas, ducks , parrots , peacocks so many , just too many to list , im only trying to give you an idea. All in all you will walk out happy and satisfied that you have crossed off some new experiences in your life. Keep up the great work guys. And a big thank you from the Martin family.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for primary school-aged children who engage actively with hands-on farm tasks â the guided tour format keeps the experience structured and educational rather than a passive zoo visit. The animal variety is unusually broad, covering native wildlife alongside working farm animals.

âReally sweet place, gives you the chance to feed kangaroos & wombats amongst others. Also has koalas, camels, alpacas, cows, guinea pigs and other animals. Animals appear to be well looked after and the staff were friendly and welcoming.â
