The people of Barkala Farm
The Rickert family emigrated from Germany in the 1980`s, and fell in love with the mountains and valleys of the Warrumbungle region. They settled on "Barkala", intending to make a living from organic farming, but they had not expected Australian droughts! So, to support their growing family, they revived the trade they had mastered in Germany, and started a pottery from nothing in the middle of the bush. It did not take long before the now famous ` Pilliga Pottery` became their main source of income, and visitors remain fascinated by the sight of the sprawling, colourful, creative mudbrick structures of Pilliga Pottery nestled amongst the gardens and gum trees. Maria, her sons Johannes and Bernhard, daughter Eva and several full time and part time staff are there to welcome visitors every day of the year.
Horse Riding at Barkala Farm
The romance and freedom of horse riding was one of the big reasons for the move to Australia, and the Rickert children virtually grew up on horseback. Now adults, they take great pleasure in sharing their love of horses with visitors, and run short rides for beginners, longer rides for those with more experience, and two and four-day Adventure Camps for those who really want to feel what it means to experience the bush. Camping under the stars and exploring the ridges, paddocks and valleys of the Pilliga is an experience never to be forgotten. Read on for all the details!
