Website says “dirt road country style”. Can you elaborate on the road condition? I just got a new SUV but I really want to see the pretty sunflowers on a dry day soon. Thank you!
Yes, I read that on another website. Parking is in a farm paddock. It depends on which direction you come from. For current local conditions, you could ask a question on Pick your own Sunflowers Facebook page: @ sunflowerpicking
When we went, there was a bike event in Ballarat so roads were closed. And, on the way home, the GPS took us on a dirt road which turned into a steep rugged dirt track in the bush climbing up and down a mountain. So if that happens, watch for kangaroos. If you see one, there’s usually more as they travel in packs.
Thank you for the prompt reply. I finally went! The main roads were smooth and the farm carpark was a dried grassfield. It was amazing to be surrounded by thousands of radiating sunflowers.
Thank you for letting me know. I’m glad you visited and had an amazing experience with the sunflowers, Yenny.
Sunflower fields remind me of my godmother. Looking forward to visiting some local ones to me this year.
This looks amazing! I would love to visit a sunflower field with my grandkids one day soon!
Thank you, Tricia. You’ll love it with your grandkids in the sunflower field.
Sunflower fields are great. There’s nothing to do but who needs there to be. Except our ones don’t have snakes.
I like no snakes, John. Hanging out with the sunflowers is so cool.
I love sunflowers so much! I would totally love to visit this sunflower field and cutting my own bouquet!
Yes you would, Kenni. It’s so magical being with the sunflowers.
