Tom and Emma Hawkins

GEELONG full forward Tom Hawkins and his highschool sweetheart Emma bought their slice of the rural property market in 2016.

The 62ha Barrabool property, just outside of Geelong, is home to a herd of angus cows, as well a couple of ponies, chickens, guinea fowl and their beloved pug-cross Oscar John.

The Cats’ two-time premiership player is no stranger to farm life, having grown up in Finley, in the NSW Riverina.

During Victoria’s many Covid lockdowns, Hawkins told News Corp that he was never short of things to do around the property, with farm life helping to keep him fit.
