Bus & Coach Group Demonstrations

Step back in time to an era before smartphones, modern conveniences and nicely surfaced roads! A time when goods were crafted by the hands of skilled artisans and the settlement of Australia was just beginning…

When you attend one of our Heritage Displays you get to meet and witness in action, one of Australia’s last working bullockies and his very strong friends, the Gleneden Bullock Team. With a lifelong interest in Australian crafts and pioneering heritage, Rohan the bullocky has travelled nationally and internationally to learn the traditional crafts of blacksmithing, wagon building, wheel-wrighting, greenhide leatherwork, bush timberwork, bullock driving and the (sometimes) colourful language of the Australian bullocky. These crafts are just some of the bush heritage skills that settlers and our forefathers (and their families) needed to live, survive (and do their best to thrive) in the often very harsh untouched Australian bush during the colonial period.

Our displays include the ‘Tricks of the Trade’ and a ‘Walk in the Woodland’ and are suitable for groups of all ages. We have been providing Heritage Displays on and off farm for over 20 years for seniors, interest groups, families and schools and design our displays to suit your needs and abilities.

Duration is approximately two hours and we keep it highly entertaining throughout. Morning/ afternoon tea of Billy Tea and Damper is available upon request. 

As you can imagine, it takes a bit of effort to prepare one of our heritage displays. For this reason, bookings are essential.
