About this event
World Rivers Day falls on the fourth Sunday of September, a worldwide celebration of waterways and everything that lives in and around them. You won't find a river at Fairhill, but you will find Turtle Lake, and on Sunday 27 September the water takes the headline. Head down to the lake and meet the locals: long-necked turtles, friendly ducks happy to be fed, and Australian water dragons soaking up the spring sun on the rocks. The Mini Goats Promenade makes its daily walk down to the water too, so the goats will be marking the day with you. Turtle Treasures, a treasure hunt around the lake, runs through the day. And with the spring school holidays in full swing, it is a very easy Sunday to say yes to. Fairhill Farmyard Adventures runs through the morning, baby goat cuddles are at 12.30pm in the Kids' Barn, and the Gardens Café is open all day.
