Ever dreamed of the droving life - just you and your trusty steed, the red desert below and endless blue skies overhead?
‘Sunsets, Saddles & Shiraz’ is a new, authentic Australian Outback experience, combining the rustic romance of cattle droving, gourmet food and wine, native wildlife and the breath-taking Flinders Ranges. And it’s all just a few hours’ drive north of Adelaide, the cultural capital of South Australia.
Two days you’ll never forget. Expert drovers will match you to your mount, and before long you’ll be ambling along on horseback – hearing about life as a drover, feeling the sun on your back, seeing magnificent desert landscapes and smelling the desert at dusk.
You’ll learn to identify various animal tracks and native plants. And you’ll tail the cattle until late in the afternoon, with the sinking sun guiding you in to camp for the night.
We’ll do our utmost to introduce you to the ‘locals’. During your Outback adventure, we’ll take you in search of the rare (and incredibly cute) Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby. This elusive little fella can be found in Brachina Gorge, a haven for many native animals. Rock fragments in Brachina date back 500 to 600 million years, so there’s a fair bit of history to share.
Rest assured, you won’t go hungry. You’ll dine under a canopy of stars, with a menu inspired by renowned Australian chef Andrew Fielke. From hearty, full-cooked breakfasts to fresh, scrumptious lunches and gourmet dinners. The beer will be cold, the Aussie wine will be divine and the coffee will be strong.
‘Sunsets, Saddles & Shiraz’ is a three night experience, allowing plenty of time for you to become an old hand on the horse. You’ll be immersed in your Outback adventure, tailing the cattle deep in to the bush and over a multitude of desert landscapes. You’ll also get maximum time with the droving team, learning about their lives and the history of the Australian bush.So get cracking.
We look forward to saying G’day.
