There’s lots to do when you come for a farmstay visit. Go hiking at Springbrook, watch the horses train, or just play fiddle sticks.

Magpie Creek Thoroughbred Farmstay
Farmstay accommodation on a working thoroughbred farm near Canungra
We’ve enjoyed a lovely visit to the farm from Ryota, Ryusaku, Yosuke and Daichi – who are currently attending second year at JOSHO KEIKO High School Osaka Japan.
The boys didn’t like Vegimite- but they did like our BBQ. Staying at the farm was a new life experience, they helped do the washing up and learnt how to hang the washing on the clothes line. There was lots of spare time to go for bush walks, watch the stars and constellations – and even find the Southern Cross in the night sky. Travis had lots of fun playing games with our friends from Osaka.
Tonight we have 4 young students from Osaka staying at our farmstay, they have had lots of fun playing pool and soccer, looking at the horses, chasing the chickens to make them go into their cage for the night, and teaching Steve how to make a paper crane. Tomorrow, the students are going to really see what life on a farm is all about – the Vet is coming to brand our foals, there are some fences to mend, and then it’s time to learn how to ride the Quad.
