Join us for a leisurely midweek drive and a heart-warming guided tour of Edgar's Mission Animal Sanctuary in Lancefield, followed by a social pub lunch.

About Edgar's Mission - https://edgarsmission.org.au/

Edgar's Mission is a registered Australian not-for-profit charity, dedicated to providing a lifelong safe haven for rescued farmed animals. Founded in 2003 on a beautiful property in Lancefield, Victoria, the sanctuary is currently home to over 500 rescued residents-including pigs, sheep, goats, cows, chickens, and turkeys. As a community-funded organization, they rely almost entirely on the kindness of everyday donors and volunteers to provide food, shelter, and specialized veterinary care. Edgar's Mission is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), meaning any individual donation of $2 or more is fully tax-deductible for Australian taxpayers.
