A diverse gathering: camels, emus, sheep and more
The farm keeps a wide roster of animals — camels, sheep, goats, emus, donkeys, alpacas, ostriches, pigs, peacocks, geese, chooks, ducks and guinea fowl — allowing visitors to meet and interact with species both familiar and unexpected for the outback.
Short, hands‑on and child friendly
Designed as a family activity, the visit is intentionally brief and approachable—children and adults alike can enjoy meet‑and‑greet moments without a long hike or complex logistics.
Living history of camels in Silverton
Beyond the animals, the visit preserves and shares the cameleer legacy: original photographs and direct community links tie today’s camels to the pioneering cameleers and the town’s outback transport history.
