Jenny Delaforce
Your Host
Driven by a love of the land and the alpine region of Victoria, Jenny and her partners, Peter Taylor and Rohan Dwyer purchased Timberline Park to showcase the SheepMaster breed to the east coast of Australia. With a background in accommodation and events it seemed obvious to open the farm for guests to also enjoy.
