Happy Friday to our COF community!!
We hope you are all having a great week. In these weeks leading up to Christmas, we hope that our travellers are making the most of some of the beautiful farm stays on our database. I'm sure some extra $$ in our Farmer's back pockets would be well appreciated at this time of year!! Farmers don't forget if it's been quiet and you could do with some more traffic, just let me know.
We have over 230 farm stays available to members, all over the country! To join just go to our website https://caravanovernightfarmstay.com.au
I know a farmer who had 196 cows in his field. when he rounded them up, there was 200!

Happy Friday COF!! Welcome to all of our new members 😍 Although we have some new farms arriving on to the map, they are not yet published so I can't show you them yet! Keep an eye out for those in the coming few days. Our family will be all trekking up to Geraldton tomorrow for the "Golden Boy's" 40th birthday, so again, make sure Dad buys you a beer if you see him on the road 😉
Sorry my Friday post was a bit late; I've been training for a marathon (Netflix) 😂

Happy, happy Friday COF travellers, Farmers and followers!! Beautiful new farm on the map for you in Victoria
"Escape to our Hobby Farm nestled in Ned Kelly Country with some great wineries nearby. Situated on 33 acres, on a no through road makes it a very quiet and peaceful location. We have a large dam that you could throw a line in or try your luck for some yabbies. It also provides the perfect opportunity for those who like to go for a paddle in a canoe or kayak. Or just sit back and take in the amazing sunsets. As you wander around, you’ll encounter our friendly residents – goats, alpacas, highland cows, sheep, geese, ducks, horses, chickens our donkey Bobby and our Emu Emmy, which all adds to the authentic farm experience".
I would tell you a joke about cows, but I'm pretty sure you've probably herd them all

Happy Friday COF!
We hope you are all well 😍 We have had a big week for new farms with still a few to be posted! This one is a treasure, a wildlife sanctuary down near Margaret River, WA.

"Open for over 32 years and centrally located in the Margaret River region, we have been welcoming guests seeking a peaceful stay surrounded by nature. Now, we’re excited to welcome only fully self-contained campers with showers and chemical toilets (no pets, please, as we are a dedicated wildlife sanctuary).
Our 100-acre property is protected by a unique feral-proof electric fence stretching 2.4 km, keeping our native wildlife safe and thriving. You can even join a local guide for on-site nocturnal tours to spot some of our incredible nocturnal residents!
In the summer months, enjoy spacious shaded sites perfect for relaxing. During winter (and year-round), we have three cozy sites for vans up to 20 feet.
We’re just a 15-minute drive from Margaret River, Busselton, and Dunsborough, putting you at the heart of wine country with a distillery and brewery only 5 minutes away. We also offer potable water (for a small donation to our sanctuary), fresh farm eggs, and organic fruit when in season. Explore our walking trails with scenic picnic spots along the winter stream, perfect for unwinding in nature".
Farm is published on the website for members Now! Have a look.
Just think of the wine, cheese and chocolate!! I Just got back from the doctor. He said I should drink more wine.
Well he actually said “less beer”, but I’m pretty sure I know what he meant.

Our next new farm is in NSW near Goulburn! Never mind camping, I'm moving in! its lovely😍
"Every site is unique and special, offering amazing views and experiences, and although we do have several sites, you do have your own space to roam around and unwind. We also allocate a whole site to you, ensuring you don't have to share with strangers. Situated on an amazing 36 acres located only 15 minutes from Goulburn NSW whilst overlooking the magnificent lake Pejar. We are currently establishing our cattle and produce enterprise at Wayo. Whilst driving up our driveway through the corridor of birch trees, you will start to immerse yourself and unwind before arriving at your campsite over the hill. Fur babies are most welcome though please ensure your fury friend is good with other dogs as we do from time to time have other families stay with their dogs. We have access to the lake only 2 minutes from our farm gate. There is amazing fishing with Bass and Trout in the lake as well as non motorised sports for a peaceful getaway. If doing nothing is your thing, then sit back in front of the fire, enjoy a beer or wine and just admire the views. We just know you will love staying on our little slice of paradise, one of the districts best kept secrets and views 🙂"

ok COF I know it's not Friday but I'm too excited. 😂
First on the list of new farms is this beauty just out of Albany, WA . definitely need to go there to pat those dogs!
" Offering stunning views of Michaelmas Island in the distance, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over rolling hills, three handsome hand reared super friendly sheep, and land to explore, fabulously situated on 20 acres of slopping land only 7 kilometres from the centre of Albany. Peaceful and idyllic, yet so close to town, beaches, cafes and tourist attractions. A flat gravel shaded parking bay measuring 20 metres, awaits you, your van, and your vehicle. We have a grass area for chairs, picnics, or for rolling around on. Be captivated by kangaroos in the paddock at dawn and dusk, while soaking up the relaxing sounds of kookaburras and black cockatoos. We have two loveable chocolate labradors (Bowie and Cash) who are super friendly and love other friendly dogs, and a couple of feathered ladies living in Cluckingham Palace. Your socially friendly well-behaved pet on a lead (because we have pet sheep and chooks), or kept close to your van, are very welcome."
$20 per night . Published on the website now for members!!

Today, let’s take a moment to celebrate the people behind our meals and recognise the importance of Australian agriculture in our daily lives.

To our farmers and ag workers—thank you for all that you do. 🌱

Its Friday again COF! I hope you have all had a great week! I have 2 things I want to discuss with you all this Friday.
Firstly, I wanted to send out an invite to our farmers leading up to Christmas, if you would like a little bit more "COF traffic" and some extra $$ for Christmas cheer, please send me a message and I will share your farm on our FB and Instagram. We value you greatly and want you to have the best experience with our travellers and will do anything to help!
Secondly, as you may have seen, we have finally worked out a way to gift a COF membership to your loved ones! An easy $25 secret Santa gift! or the $40 membership for that brother who's always difficult to buy for. Or the $100/5 yr membership for that mother inlaw..... that could be 5 years of peace!!! Think big!! Private message us to order.
I haven't spoken to my mother in-law for 18months. I don't like to interrupt her!
