The area has an abundance of sporting clubs and pastimes to keep you active and busy within a short driving distance. If you are into fishing, surfing or other outdoor activities like bush walking you don’t have to go more than half an hour from town to be in some of the best spots in the south of Australia.

We also service a large number of beef and sheep farms and perform plenty of calvings, prolapses, pregnancy testing and routine bull testing.
