The Goolwa Wharf Precinct is the perfect spot for this exhibition. With the Cockle Train nearby, the Wharf Barrel Shed for a bit of a tipple, the Steam Exchange Brewery and lots of nearby cafes there is plenty to do either before or after your Exhibition visit. A look at the exhibition and a picnic by the water would be a perfect afternoon activity.
