Set on 17 acres in Steels Creek, Oasis Berry Farms is a family favourite.

In addition to 5,000 bushes of blueberries producing delicious and fresh berries that can be purchased by the bucketload from their on-site farmgate shed, there are amazing gardens to explore including a dinosaur garden, a miniature garden, and buried treasure on an island!

But Oasis Berry Farms wasn't always picturesque. Twelve years ago, Rodolfo Parisi bought a burnt-out 17-acre bush block in Steels Creek, as it was a sunny site - perfect for growing blueberries. But it was literally scorched by bushfires, and blueberry farms need plenty of water.

Set beside a shady billabong in Dixon’s Creek, The Burrow at Wombat Bend offers a quiet and beautiful self-contained sanctuary amid a leafy Australian landscape.
