For many of us – and not too many generations ago – it was from the shores of Ireland and Britain that our ancestors stepped aboard ship to begin new lives on the other side of the world. This tour is a great opportunity to retrace some of their steps.
But you don’t have to be able to trace your heritage to the British Isles to take advantage of this farm tour. Despite the fierce rivalry between Australia and the “Old Country” on the sporting field, you will find the people of Ireland and Britain to be warm and welcoming to their colonial cousins. And we will be visiting during their “summer,” when the inhabitants are more likely to be in a good mood.
We will see the impossibly green countryside at its British and Irish best, including the spectacular Scottish Isles and Highlands, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the Lake District, the Cotswolds, London and much more - with plenty of hi-tech and traditional agriculture in-between.
