PARKING
Parking is always a pain, but we’ve got you covered with multiple parking options in Busselton and Dunsborough and a park and ride service stopping every 15 minutes at the end of Chain Avenue.
Sadly, there’s only very limited parking at the venue.
All proceeds from Harvest Days go to rescuing at-risk horses and supporting our work in horse welfare.
Little goats and spotty sheep and baby calves, oh my. Watch the DunsBros perform their amazing feats and meet Beatrice and her wild Kerry boys, Madeleine and Milly, feed all the DunsBros friends and see Godfrey (the Wanna-be Friesian) get up to even more mischief. There’s delicious food in the Gourmet Precinct and pony rides and face painting plus loads of games.

Magpie Circus
We’re not saying maggies are show-offs, but they do love a good swing trapeze. Between the squabbling, the wrestling, the play fights and the squawking, magpies love to muck around, so we’ve created a circus for them to show-off display their skills.
