Old Whisloca Cottage
The rugged peaks of Ben Lomond National Park loom behind this large working farm with cattle, sheep, crops and forests. Its a peaceful place to relax, play tennis or fish for trout on the North Esk river. At dusk native animals emerge from the bush - kangaroos, wallabies, possums and Tasmanian devils.
