Thankyou for your enquiry regarding
out Children's Farm/Horse Riding, weekly Holiday Camps, held during ALL school vacations
at "Gumnuts", on our 140 acre farm nestled in the picturesque Biddaddaba Valley,
on the edge of the Scenic Rim, in between Beaudesert, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
"Gumnuts" is a working farm, set in rolling hills on the
edge of the Lamington National Park, interwoven by the sparkling Biddaddaba Creek.
The natural wildlife of kangaroos, possums, parrots, and the farm animals of lambs, sheep
and goats and "Dolly" our cow and her calf, provide a unique "Country
Experience". One of our main activities is of course horse riding, but there
are other activities available all the time including, orienteering, fishing, yabbying,
adventure games, barn dance, skit nights, camp fires, sausage sizzles etc etc.
Gumnuts is used by NSW and Queensland Schools for their
"School Educational Camps", which take place during term time. This means
that all our safety procedures are well in place and our holiday facilities are properly
licensed by the local authorities and health department. During the holidays our
camps are a little more relaxed and fun, although still educational, but we aim to return
children refreshed and having benefited from their activities with us.
Gumnuts supervises all horse riding, with qualified staff at a
ration of 1:6, and children are fully supervised 24 hrs a day. The majority of
children cannot ride at all when they first come to us, and we enjoy teaching them the
joys of horse riding and exploring the bush, however, we also cater for more experienced
riders, who can participate in dressage and jumping lessons, as well as ranging widely
through the bush on horseback.
