School groups

School groups are invited to the Jondaryan Woolshed to soak up the history and learn about life in the pioneer days. With more than 30 buildings to explore in our historical museum, children will enjoy seeing old machinery and transporation vehicles, a cheese factory, jail, school room and more.

Step outside the Classroom and take your students back in time and immerse them in Australia’s History. Partake in a Guided Tour which shows the life of no electricity and modern gadgets. Learn to cook their own Damper from scratch with our Damper Cook. Meet our friendly animals in our animal nursery or play with our Old Time Game Kits including sack & three-legged races and enjoy many other sites and uniquely Australian experiences.

"Dating back from 1859, the Jondaryan Woolshed is one of the largest, surviving woolsheds in Australia and is famous for the shearing of approximately 200,000 sheep in a single season (1873). The Woolshed has a special place in shearing folklore and in the history of the union movement. The experience tells the story of the Woolshed itself – its processes, its people, and its role in the Jondaryan community and the history of wool in Australia."

We have both day and overnight packages available.  When visiting the Jondaryan Woolshed for the day, we suggest school groups stay for 3-4 hours. Activities can be tailored to suit your group size and age.
