Cotton Fields to Customs House: A 3.5‑Hour Town & Farm Probe Around Goondiwindi.
Set on the flat, agricultural sweep of Goondiwindi, this 3.5‑hour Town & Farm Tour threads local history and working country: a guided behind‑the‑scenes visit to Goondiwindi Cotton’s Alcheringa, a stop for morning tea at the Customs House Museum, views of town landmarks including the Gunsynd Memorial, and a finish at the operator’s fashion house. The outing collapses the region’s agricultural story—from field to fabric—into a compact, town‑meets‑farm afternoon.
