Pat Mangan created the Farming tour industry in Australia through his business, Swagman Tours, which he started in 1987 and sold in 2020. It was a business that served the Farming industry very well because it got people off their Farms and onto other Farms where they picked up ideas that they could take home and experiment with.Pat is known as the guru of the Farm Tour industry.After he sold the business, he operated as a consultant to another travel company and still does that part-time role today.Pat was brought up on a Dairy Farm in Northern Victoria and started to get back into Farming by buying Farms in the rich Winchelsea area, South West of Geelong. He now runs the Farm, a Beef Cattle operation, this time around with his son and loves every minute of it.Pat is a talented man and, at some point, started making Stockcrates and sold over 100 under the Swagaman brand before calling it quits when he sold the main Swagman tours business.South Africa was the most interesting place he went to. It’s been the most fascinating and interesting life that Pat has led, and he is very grateful for the cards that he has been dealt.At the end of this podcast, we talk about a Farm tour he is promoting to Canada departing on July 10th, 2026.
