13: Oxley Farm: B&B with animals

This whole trip was planned in advance via the internet, but there were some surprises. Oxley Farm was the most pleasant surprise: a slightly quirky "hobby farm" with luxurious
motel-style accommodation, and animals (alpacas, pigs, goats, sheep, miniature cows, donkeys, chooks, kangaroos, deer) to feed, talk to, touch and photograph. Andrew and Rhonda
were great hosts; a pity we turned down their offer of lessons in ballroom dancing, but the demonstration was impressive. Memorable and recommended; Google will find it.
2020 update: They are not doing B&B any more.
