Feel like some retro fun? Tocal Homestead is holding their Peek into the Past event on Sunday 27 July 2025 from 10am to 3pm.
The Homestead comes alive with the sights and sounds (and smells) of yesteryear.
Peek into the Past is a fun day out for all the family. Check out the blacksmiths, working horses, heritage tractors, and scones baking in the old wood stove.
There is plenty of fun to enjoy including:
- Calf feeding
- Sheep shearing
- Get up close to donkeys, pigs, chickens and llamas
- Heritage clothing parades
- Old fashioned family games
- Have a go at spinning wool
Enjoy the sound of music across the site intermingling with the sounds of vintage machinery and the clanking of the blacksmiths hammer.
Stop for some freshly baked scones from the 200 year old wood-fired oven accompanied with a cup of tea.
Make sure you enjoy a piece of damper from the camp fire, topped with ‘cocky’s joy’.
Try your hand at traditional bush games and then watch some rope making, glass blowing, or animals roam.
Keep an eye out for the ‘redcoats’ of the soldiers of the 73rd Regiment of Foot; they will fire their muskets and march through the site – keeping law and order and the King’s peace. Feel free to wander around their encampment and chat to them about what they do.
Drop in to hear one of the history talks to learn how it all came about.
On top of all that, there are lots of delicious homemade refreshments, or you can bring your own picnic to enjoy on the lawn.
