A highlight of our tour of Australia. Lovely and welcoming and delicious cheese (and milk and other items). Prices are extremely reasonable at a rustic location. If you love cheese, this is your place. We did the tasting and then had a platter of our favourites. Also, they were extremely kind and accommodating for gluten free for my coeliac partner - checking that everything was OK.

Do not miss this place if you are near by. My whole family loved it. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. $1 per person for cheese tasting and all the cheese were so yummy, very hard to decide which ones to buy to take home. The gelato is also delicious 😋. Also if you are there at 4 pm you can watch them milk the cows.

We had a fantastic experience - Julian was very hospitable and generous with his time, explaining their operations and his approach. We really admire his optimism, innovative approach and care for the environment and his animals. We loved the cheese tasting and getting to try Apostle Whey's award-winning cheese. Thank you to Julian and Dianne for making this experience possible.

We enjoyed a cheese tasting, which was great and very informative Then we discovered that they also make their own gelato Which was every bit as good as we had recently had in Italy We will definitely be back to stock up on some more cheese and gelato.

You can pay 1 AUD to try 12 types of cheese. The staff will introduce and explain the types of cheese. Then you can opt to select a platter of cheese with condiments and biscuits. You do not want also can. I shared a platter of cheese with my wife. They taste very nice with the condiments and biscuits, now I am trying in Singapore to purchase cheese, biscuits and condiments and try myself....

Hands down the best gelato I’ve ever had in Australia (and I’m an Italian backpacker so I know my gelato 😝) The cheese was very good too, you can taste all their 12 cheese varieties for $1 and can have a cheese platter with three choices of cheese for $20. The owners were very sweet.

In the latest edition of our monthly dairy farm journal Julian reports that he doesn't remember seeing the farm this dry in autumn in his 43 years in Cooriemungle on the Great Ocean Road.
In the latest edition of our monthly dairy farm journal Julian reports that he doesn't remember seeing the farm this dry in autumn in his 43 years in Cooriemungle on the Great Ocean Road.
Julian estimates rainfall as low as 20 millimetres in the opening three months of 2024 and according to his research the summer just gone may be the driest since 1968.
Julian's son Luke has brought in vetch hay to maintain a high level of protein in their cows' diet and this is combined daily with grain and the green silage they cut in September.
The dry conditions have, however, helped bake in the mole drains that were dug in January and they will be invaluable in keeping the water table low when heavy rain does eventually arrive.
