Strathmerton

Only 2 nights to go and we'll be home. Packed up and headed to Strathmerton, about an hour up the road. Cactus Country had popped up in my research as a good, dog friendly spot to pop in to. Umm what a find! They have done a fantastic job with the whole space, a gorgeous 12 acre Cactus garden, with many different trails to follow, each with plants from different areas of the world or with a different theme. They had a scavenger hunt option for kids, a lovely Cafe, lots of plants for sale and it just had great vibes. We downloaded the guidebook and followed along. Masterchef even filmed an episode this year along the Blue trail! After about half of the trails, it looped us back to the entry/cafe area, we took the opportunity to have a feed and grab pup's water bottle. We shared some pork tacos and chips, they did have a number of fun tequila cocktails, but I'm still a bit off, so we went with water and a fresh orange juice. Back in to loop through the rest of the trails then back to try Cactus cake and Cactus ice cream. They were delicious! We were so stoked we stopped here and definitely would again.Read more
