Something legen-DAIRY has happened at Baptist Care SA’s Tumbelin Farm this week. We’ve welcomed another calf into our cattle herd! She’s been doing well, bonding with her mum and finding her feet in the paddock. What should we name her? We’ve narrowed our options to Daisy, Sunflower, or Matilda.
Let us know in the comments!
Our residents will assist Farmer Dave in raising this calf while caring for our other cattle. Tumbelin Farm is Baptist Care SA’s residential adventure therapy program for young men using drugs or alcohol. Find out more https://tumbelinfarm.org.au/

Held in school holidays, Wirraway Homestead Musters are Christian adventure camps where kids aged 10 to 15 are encouraged to build new relationships, grow in Christ and have a great time. Held over five days where kids sleep in bunkhouses and are supervised by bunkhouse leaders, Wirraway Homestead Musters are packed with fun and excitement, where each day brings a fresh assortment of activities.
Kids gain new skills by trying new things like mustering sheep, riding horses, building shelters and swinging on low ropes in a safe environment with the support of our fully qualified team. With an array of new friendships and memories to be made, Wirraway Homestead Musters are a Christian camping adventure your kids won’t want to miss. https://bit.ly/3yZeB5z

Floods deliver tough times to campsites along the Murray River
Our team from Mylor Adventure Camp and Wirraway Homestead went to Ankara Youth Camp, part of the Christian Venues Association network, on Friday 25 November to help pack up the campsite. Famous for bringing adventure and fun to schools, this beautiful campsite is unfortunately expected to be under water for the next few weeks due to rising flood levels.
It was great to be able to lend a hand, along with our friends from Uniting Venues SA, and our thoughts and prayers are with Joy & Warren Richards and the Walker Flat community for the tough few months ahead.
