Wheelers Oyster Farm

Since the settlement of Merimbula, oyster farming has played an important role in the towns economy. Merimbula oysters have become famous throughout Australia and the world for their excellent quality and flavour, resulting in many awards for farmers. Oyster farming is Australia's oldest form of aquaculture, but until now very little information has been available to the public about how oysters are formed. Wheelers Oyster Farm offers the opportunity to discover the complete oyster story with a tour of our state-of-the-art factory and our own video showing the complete history of oyster farming and the life cycle of oysters.
