An Outback experience one remembers for life!
We would recommend any tour with this company as we did most. They are highly organised so much fun and the food was of excellent quality!
They should get an award for excellence in tourism.
Wonderful people of the Outback! Thank you for the best holiday and one we would recommend to all.

Full Day Winton Discovery Day Tour from LongreachF2152GJmatthewl, Sep 2026
Great Winton Experience
This tour provides easy access to a day trip to Winton. The tour guide was excellent, providing great commentary on the trip to Winton. The places of interest we visited provided a good insight into the history of the region. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Longreach.

Longreach: 4-Hour Starlights Cruise ExperienceLynn_R, Sep 2026
Outback Fun with character
This is a very relaxing evening and night tour. All the staff were great, the food was really good as outback Tucker should be, the bush poetry and yarns were fabulous and the sunset was outstanding.

Not a bad way to spend a day!
A very enjoyable day with informative and entertaining commentary from Joe and Mick. Opportunity to sit in the "drivers" seat and have a yarn. Leisurely stroll around historical Ilfracombe and then a fabulous burger, a drink and a game to raise $ for the RFDS at the Welshot Pub. Yes, you could drive it and do it cheaper, but youd miss out on the clickety clack of the rail and the natural air con! Do it!

Longreach: Half Day Nogo Station ExperienceJanM486, Sep 2026
NO GO Jeremy and Banjo
BEST EXCELLENT MORNING ENTERTAINMENT
Jeremy was one of the best tourist Operators his commentary was informative and funny, all the Visitors loved him. He kept the information flowing and Banjoy his trusty companion. Was right along side cheering him on. Marino Sheep are very interesting and the ride on the double decker bus around the station was terrific.

Fantastic
Absolutely fantastic day. I would thoroughly recommend it. The coach picked us up at Saltbush Retreat on time, it was very comfortable. The experience at the station was great, especially the little sheepdog. Saw lots of wild camels etc. If you are in Longreach, please do this.

Smithy’s Outback Dinner & Show in Longreachleannethecelebrant, Aug 2026
Great night out in Longreach
Great night out in Longreach. Lovely setting on the river, beautifully lit, food good but best of all was the entertainment. Drew Blundell was so entertaining, lots of fun and made the evening perfect. Only suggestion would be a more home made Australian dessert eg pudding, apple pie, pavlova. What was served was very commercial slice, nothing special.

Great Darr River Rail Run in Longreachjopashjema, Aug 2026
Fantastic morning on the train
We had a fantastic trip up to the Darr River by train. Joe and David were both so friendly, pleasant and informative, making the day even more enjoyable.Halfway through the journey, David stopped the train and we all got out for a talk in the bush. Joe explained all about the different trees, sharing his knowledge of what they could be used for and teaching us so much about the local area.After our talk in the bush, we all got back on the train and continued the rest of the journey up to the Darr River, where we were met by a lovely lady who had prepared a beautiful morning tea of homemade jam drops, damper and hot billy tea. It was such a lovely treat!Joe then showed us how to crack a whip, which was great fun, and David finished the day by singing a lovely tune under the coolabah tree.It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, with great company, fascinating stories, delicious food and lots of memorable moments. A truly fantastic day that we won’t forget! 🌿🚂☕️❤️

must do train ride for great sunset & outback experience
Best outing on our 3 month holiday so far. The train stopped at all the river crossings so we could see the bird life.The land was full of kangaroos emus & sheep.Joe provided interesting commentary and provided some funnies too.We started with a glass of champagne and at the half way point we were served locally prepared tapas if high quality while viewing the sun go down.A trip of 2 hours was perfect at the end. I felt quite relaxed - I couldn't asked for anything more.Many thanks to the whole crew from Phillip and Simon from Hobart Tasmania

A Great Night
The meal was lovely - well cooked, delicious and catered for allergies. Staff, including our bus driver, were excellent - very friendly and welcoming. There was a good range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. The entertainer, Drew Blundell, was an outstanding talent. It was a wonderful night in true outback tradition.
