[2024 Walter Peak Attraction] Travel Guide for Walter Peak High Country Farm - RealNZ (Updated Dec)

When visiting Queenstown, you can take a ferry across the lake to visit Walter Peak farm. This farm houses various animals and they have a sheep sheering demonstration at the end of the tour. Visited in autumn and the weather was perfect. #bucketlistreboot

To get to Walter Peak, you have to take a 1-hour steamship ride on the TSS Earnslaw and when you get to Walter Peak, there is a choice for you to feed the animals or go for horse riding. I went for the horse riding and I enjoyed the 1-hour hose ride with my horse Riley! It’s worth coming back to Walter Peak multiple times and there is a choice to have their BBQ lunch

Shepherds and sheep are companions. After being exposed to the scorching sun, battered by wind and rain, and invaded by snow and frost, some hard things have stained the mature skin, injecting simple hormones into a clumsy life again. The lonely shepherd stands on the hill of the times, maintaining inevitable calmness like the surrounding mountains. While shepherding sheep, the shepherd is also grazing her own life. Because the shepherd not only has a flock of sheep, but also has the water and grass of the pastoral land and the smile of spring in her heart.

The Walter Peak Highlands Ranch boat is about to land, and the beautiful Walter Peak Highland Ranch is just across the street. After landing, the staff led us to visit the animals kept in the ranch. She had a bucket of food in her hand and could feed her own animals. The lambs, the deer and the calves are starving. Even if you stretch out an empty hand, they will all come together to ask for food, but the alpaca is more proud, dismissive to the tourists, and live on their own. In the world, it is ignored. There was a shearing performance on the farm, and the sheep were shaved without being loved. After reading the shaving performance, I went to the afternoon tea session. The red house under the mountain is a tea house, and the cakes and drinks are general, but the scenery is beautiful and everyone is full of praise. Used tea on the lawn to basking in the sun, completely old-age route.

We chose the Ranch Tour project to experience the lifestyle of the New Zealand Ranch, which is in line with the tone of my current Buddhist system. Just got off the boat and was taken to the Shepherd Dog Zone by the enthusiastic ranch, where you can see how the original Shepherd helps people to shepherd. Under the leadership of the shepherd dog, the flock is really super-obedient. The most common thing here is the Border Collie. The IQ of the little one can be said to be the highest in the dog. The trained sheepdogs drove the flocks back into the fence, a process that was very interesting. Because we dont have a lot of guests, everyone and the shepherd walked and talked to the performance area where the wool was cut. Well, it seems to be a private show, just pick a location, small The partners began to look seriously at the performance of shearing wool. The shepherd first walked into the sheepfold. Because the fence was high, we couldn't see the scene inside. We could only hear the sheep seem to be avoiding the shepherd's magic catch. The sheep's hooves stepped on the wooden floor. I slammed, and after a while, I saw a little lamb being smashed out. It was a state of unbearable love. I was dragged out. I started thinking about struggling for a few times, then gave up and decided to use it decisively. The EOS 200D captured this "famous scene". The shepherd skillfully clamped the sheep between the legs. The expression of the sheep made me see its despair, hahaha, but the whole process was very cooperative, and the shearing performance officially began. After a while, a chubby sheep turns into a little bald sheep.
