Sunsets, Saddles & Shiraz
The authentic Australian Outback experience combines the romance of cattle droving with gourmet food and wine, native wildlife and the breath-taking scenery of the Flinders Ranges.
Experience two days of droving with expert drovers who will match you to your mount. Before long you’ll be ambling along on horseback, hearing about life as a drover, feeling the sun on your back and seeing magnificent desert landscapes from gibber plains to sandy creek beds lined with majestic river gums.
Sunsets, Saddles & Shiraz is a three-night experience, allowing plenty of time for you to become an old hand on the horse. And, weather permitting, you’ll also get to sleep under the stars in a swag – just like a true blue drover (tents are available).
Your adventure includes three nights accommodation (one night Prairie Hotel, two nights swag), two full days in the saddle, all meals and drinks including beer and premium wines with dinner, live entertainment each evening and the Wallaby Watch tour (in search of the rare, elusive but incredibly cute Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby). Saddle up!
