One of them was 10-year-old Lachlan Abood, whose favourite part of the festival was the petting zoo.
"I want to pat the goat," Lachlan said.
"I don't care that much about the chickens."
Footballer Ryan Price came with his 16-month old daughter Matilda, who helped her dad put strawberries into a punnet.
"It's a nice little day out picking some strawberries and hanging out with Matilda," Mr Price said.
"She's loving it. I'm a teacher, so it's school holidays for me."
