Yarracoola is a working sheep farm, carrying 300 to 400 merino ewes and additional lambs, depending upon the time of year. Lambing occurs during September & October. Lots of little white lambs chasing mum around. 😆 Surrounds of rolling hills and bush, our land offers peace and quiet with plenty of space. Overlooking rural paddocks, you can enjoy the tranquillity that a farming landscape has to offer. (1.5hrs from Canberra, 3.5hrs from Sydney). Camping is available next to the creek and dam on the western side. There is no power, no dump point, no phone reception and no internet. (Don't you just love that...😜) Various farming activities occur during the year which you are welcome to join in. The township of Boorowa is 15min drive, offering a range of shops, dining venues, Golf course, swimming pool (in season) and playground. There are also a number of events held throughout the year. The Woolfest and the Picnic Races being a must. https://irishwoolfest.com.au/ https://www.facebook.com/boorowapicnicraceclub https://youtu.be/1Ja7bR1EvAA Townships close by are Yass, Young, Harden, Murringo, Binalong, Rye Park, Cowra and Wyangala Dam.
