Avondale Discovery Farm is a great place to have fun. There is a constantly changing collection of people-friendly animals in the animal nursery. These may include chooks, ducks, geese, turkeys, lambs, pigs, emus or any other farm animals.

The picnic area features grassed patches under the old York Gums. There is a myriad of birds to be found with several feathered families nesting in the trees during the spring.

The picnic area is a great spot for individual families, school groups, family reunions, social groups and casual visitors to stop awhile. An adventure playground is available for the children. An ablution block and free gas BBQ's are available all year, for public use. For added convenience there is water, power and lights in the picnic area.

Throughout the year Avondale hosts a variety of special events,including the Annual Avondale Harvest Festival in November and the Avondale Clydesdale and Vintage Ploughing Day early in winter.
