Learn how to be a Bullock Driver – ‘for real life’!

Whilst at the farm, students (and teachers) have a rare opportunity to learn how to be a real Bullocky and find out how important bullockies and their skills were in the early Australian colony and other ancient and modern cultures. Rohan the Bullocky shares his ‘tricks of the trade’ with students which includes training the bullocks, yoking up a bullock team, bush timber-craft, blacksmithing, whip-making and loading the wagon. Students are encouraged to ask questions and invited to get involved to increase their interest and understanding.

Rohan the Bullocky is a Registered (Outdoor Education, Phys Ed & Science) Teacher with over 20years teaching (and bullock driving) experience. We understand each groups of students are different and we are happy to work directly with teachers to help meet their students specific ‘key concepts’ and ‘inquiry questions’ in the HASS and Secondary History Learning Areas.

We are happy to provide our Current Public Liability Certificate and Risk Assessment Forms for each activity if requested.
