Report
Chris and Petra Lovey met whilst working for the RSPCA more than 30 years ago. They got married, raised two kids and in 2007 purchased their 100 acre river front hobby farm in Kuranda. Petra remained in the animal field, obtaining a Diploma in Applied Science, Animal Technology and working in boarding kennels, veterinary clinics, zoos and sanctuaries.
Directions
Report
The road becomes Oak Forest Road and eventually wraps itself around a farm to the right, where it becomes dirt road. Go over the railway line which is only used for the Savannahlander tourist train, then over the Barron River Bridge. Turn left onto Armstrong Road (over a cattle grid) and we are exactly 1 kilometre on the left.
Testimonials
Report
Will never send my girl anywhere else. She gets so excited to see Chris or Petra and is more than happy to stay in the car with them when I'm picking her up! She has such a ball and I believe is in the best care she could be while I'm away. Honestly these guys are amazing. If there were 10 stars it wouldn't be enough.
