Camel rides, bouncy castles, face painting and other amusement rides will be sure to put smiles on everyone’s faces.

As Farm Day is the sole fundraiser for Birdwood Primary School, the school’s representation must not be overlooked. The school will host a variety of retail stalls including our ever-popular Gardening, Sweet Treats and Port and Wine stalls. The students themselves are working hard on creating their own retail spaces in each year level too.

This really is a group effort with the whole school community being involved on some level, putting our best offerings forward for the public to enjoy!

As always, plenty of hot coffee and food choices to keep you full so you can stay and play the whole day long.

Children can use their imaginations while they 'build a city' with foam blocks or enjoy some quiet time colouring in, or challenge each other to giant board games like chess, Connect 4 and Jenga in our Kids Zone.

The Main Stage and Arena areas will host some great entertainers with live music, whip cracking and performances by our very own students.

Not sure how you will see it all? Purchase a Farm Day Trail Bag from the Info Stall by the entrance and it will lead you through the event, collecting as you go, ensuring no corner is left undiscovered.

Have we mentioned that each ticket also provides FREE access to the National Motor Museum?

His last album We're Still Here debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country Music Charts with all four singles released from the album also going to No.1.

In 2018 Tom won two Golden Guitar Awards for his single "Never Never Land", a duet with Luke O'Shea. Tom was also awarded the prestigious 2018 Australian Independent Country Music Artist of the Year Award together with Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (Territory Time) and Single of the Year("Never Never Land") at the Southern Stars Australian Independent Country Music Awards.

Tom is also an official ambassador of Dolly's Dream. Moved by the tragic passing of Amy ‘Dolly’ Everett, who took her young life after being relentlessly cyber-bullied, Tom put pen to paper and released the single "Speak Up" with Sara Storer. To date, over $50,000 has been raised by the Katherine Outback Experience and Outback Productions through the sale of the song and branded shirts. These donations are used to provide useful and powerful tools for schools, children and family members (www.dollysdream.org.au) to fight online bullying.

Katherine Outback Experience
Owned and operated by Tom Curtain, Katherine Outback Experience (KOE) is an outback show that celebrates life on the land through real horse-starting and working dog demonstrations entwined with live music and humorous bush tales. KOE has won multiple awards over many years - most recently:
- 2022 Winner of the Brolga NT Tourism Award: Best Tourist Attraction
- 2021 Winner of the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards: Best Tourist Attraction
- 2021 Winner of the Brolga NT Tourism Award: Best Tourist Attraction
- 2021 Winner of the Brolga NT Chairman’s Choice Award for Tourism Excellence

The show is based in Katherine from April to the end of October over the ‘Dry Season’ months. Over the Wet Season summer months, the team hit the road, touring the Outback Show in conjunction with Tom's music.
