ORD VALLEY FARM & FOOD TOUR
Saturday 13th August

The produce generated in the Kimberley is from one of Australia’s most dynamic agriculture areas. Cattle first came to the Kimberley in the 1880s when the MacDonald Brothers drove cattle 5,600Km from NSW in one of the grand and epic pioneering events in our Nation’s history and whilst the pastoral industry continues to be a significant economic driver of the region, this agriculture sector has been complemented and enhanced in relatively recent years through the success of the ambitious Ord Irrigation Scheme that began in 1941. The story of this incredible part of the region’s success is largely unknown.
 
 A hosted farm tour will give guests the opportunity to visit the range of farms and talk directly to farmers throughout the valley. This in-depth tour will provide a platform for audiences to learn about the produce of the Ord. The tour will end with a casual bush morning tea.
