Farm details can change. Check before travelling.
Far North Queensland
Genuine u-pick sunflower field on an 80-acre property owned by Anthony Trimarchi and Samantha Hunt, corroborated across multiple independent sources spanning 2021-2025 (local newspaper, WikiCamps POI listing with 5-star rating, Facebook/Instagram social presence, Chamber of Commerce directory listing with 9 reviews). Per April 2025 Express Newspaper article, farm reopened after a two-year closure; owner said he hopes to 'come back bigger and better.' Kid and dog friendly (dogs on leash). No dedicated website -- Facebook/phone are the primary contact channels. Because it's a small, weather-dependent, weekends-only seasonal operation with a history of multi-year closures, confirm the farm is actually running before the site publishes/promotes a specific current-season date -- checking their Facebook page immediately prior to publication is recommended. Not a duplicate of any existing listing; no other sunflower farm in the directory is in the Atherton Tablelands / far-north-qld area (nearest existing region match is Shaylee Strawberries in Atherton, same region).
