OVERVIEW
Mt Lyall Dairies Tour | Where technology meets tradition
Take a rare opportunity to step behind the scenes of one of Gippsland’s most talked-about dairy operations!
Join us for a concise two-hour tour of the Lancey family’s farm in Nyora — home to a brand new 100-stand rotary dairy and loafing barn that has locals saying, “you can see it from Mars.” Attendees will also enjoy a live drone demonstration on the farm. It’s a must-see tour for anyone interested in modern dairy infrastructure, efficiency, and innovation.
For farmers attending the South Gippsland Dairy & Farming Expo, we invite you to register your interest in the complimentary bus departing on Wednesday, September 3rd at 2.30pm. Alternatively, on-farm parking will be available. Join us for an afternoon of networking, complemented by a delightful afternoon tea provided by our Platinum Sponsor, Westpac, and Gold Sponsors GEA, Westfalia Warragul and Worker Bee Drones.
From the Expo to the paddock – your next stop is the Lancey Dairy Farm.
