Sanctuary

A Place of Kindness

Where dreams really do come true
Edgar’s Mission sanctuary is set on 153 peaceable acres in Lancefield, nestled in the tranquility of the Macedon Ranges in Victoria. Now home to between 350 and 450 formerly farmed animals at any given time, it all began with a girl, a pig and a dream.
