Paradise Country Farm Stay is both a Queensland Theme Park, a Wildlife Park and a farm stay on the Gold Coast Australia. It seems odd to stay at a Gold Coast farmstay secluded amongst the Village Roadshow collection of theme parks, but that is exactly what happens at Paradise Country Farm Stay. Even stranger is …
