Here’s a taste of some of the settings.... #discoveripswich See more

08.01.2022 Cooneana was recently host to a local school’s first graders. Due to COVID-19 we had been unable to have our usual school visits. So we were very excited to prepare for the little ones. We hope they enjoyed their visit as much as we enjoyed getting them involved in old style games, kitchen adventures, early school experience, doing the laundry, grandma style sewing and more. #discoveripswich

08.01.2022 The picnic is over. Time to go home.
