Things to Do

* Picnic on the lawns or use the wood or electric barbeques. If the weather is cold or wet please enquire about the Stables picnic area
* Explore the old out buildings and imagine what life was like when you had to make your own butter
* Stroll through the beautiful gardens and discover unusual exotic plants or to the beach for views of Phillip Island and Westernport
* A slide show, 'Introducing Coolart', is shown each day in the Wetlands Observatory (1:30 PM weekdays and 2:00 PM weekends)
* Junior Ranger Certificate activities are available - these are parent-guided activities for children - just ask at the Visitor Centre for 'Let's Go Around The Farm' and 'Let's Go Beachcombing'.
