Review:

At the Observation Area, not only can you get a close-up of the giant wind turbine whirring but possible close-ups of a herd of cows - science and animals together. There are some information panels about Wind Farms in general and this particular Wind Farm. It is located only 2km from the South Gippsland Highway.
