What to expect
You'll arrive at the farm and be greeted by your guide, who'll walk you through the science and history of pearling in Australia. The centrepiece is watching an oyster being opened live—there's genuine suspense in not knowing what size or quality pearl will emerge. Your guide shares practical details about farming conditions, harvest cycles, and grading. The final 15 minutes take you into the showroom, where pieces are explained in context. It's educational without feeling like a hard sell.
