OK… You’re travelling around oz in your Wicked Rental Camper and so far so good. You’ve boozed up with your fellow backpackers in some of the major Australian cities and you’ve even managed to make friends with a few of the local city slickers. You’re having a great time enjoying the multicultural, cosmopolitan atmosphere when it dawns on you…

…Something’s missing…

So you ask yourself:

“Where are the real Aussies hiding? You know, the ocker outback types with their akubra hats and other stereotypical Australian idiosyncrasies that the Paul Hogan’s and Steve Irwin’s lead me to believe Australia was chock full of? Where is the Australia I saw on TV?!”

Good question! Y’see, most Aussies generally don’t spend a whole lot of time wrestling crocs, riding kangaroos or milking deadly poisonous snakes for fun and profit. Yes, that’s right, it was all a marketing stunt… most Aussies are, in fact, about as boring as batshit!

Feeling ripped off? Can’t blame ya but please… DO NOT DESPAIR YET!

You CAN still get your ocker on in Oz and from the extensive research we’ve performed (virtually nil) we’ve concluded that Myella Farm Stay is a damn fine place to get a taste of authentic Aussie outback farm life.

As they state on the Myella website:

You will leave Stiff, Sore and Dirty…But Happy!

[insert grubby sexual innuendo here] Oh, come on…

What and Where is Myella Farm?

Myella Farm is a fair dinkum Australian cattle station situated on 2600 acres of pure Aussie outback land, roughly 125km south of Rockhampton. Owned and operated by the Eather family, Peter and Olive play host to about 300 Brahman-cross cattle and droves of backpackers every year. They’re still not sure which group is better behaved or smells worse.

Driving times to get to Myella vary depending on where you’re coming from (duh) and are as follows;

Cow Milking

How many places in the world do farmers allow you to milk their cows, have you ever wondered why? The slower you are the less milk you get and the likely hood of the cow getting sick. The Eather’s have a few systems in place to prevent such problems but you’ll have to visit the Myella website to find out more about Cow Milking…

There’s heaps of other stuff to do at Myella Farm Stay, such as;

Milk a cow? Got a Youtube video of that?

Yep… Turn the sound up and savour the squelch of the squirt!

If you think that’s gross then it’s best you don’t watch this video of human assisted horse mating that YouTube decided was “related” to the cow milking vid. Not for the squeamish! Trust me when I say that at Myella, you ride the horses and milk the cows – not the other way around!!
