Longreach Storytelling Holiday 3D/2N

You must experience Australia’s heartland at least once in your lifetime.

Gather around the campfire or under the gum trees and discover the spirit of pioneers past and present. You’ll be immersed in their inspiring stories aboard a stagecoach ride through the bush, at working Nogo Station and as you cruise gently down the Thomson River on a historic paddlewheeler.

Everything is included from the unique, boutique accommodation inspired by pioneer times to big country buffet breakfasts and transfers to the experiences.

Tour Highlights

  • Cruise the Thomson River at sunset, followed by a hearty stockman’s campfire dinner, live bush poetry, and an innovative outdoor sound and light show.

  • Tour a historic working station on an open-top, double-decker bus to spot outback wildlife, explore heritage wool sheds, and enjoy a traditional billy-tea lunch.

  • Discover Australia’s pioneering and aviation roots with dedicated entry to both the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and the Qantas Founders Museum.

  • Experience the thrill of a real stagecoach ride along an old mail route, complete with a horse-harnessing demonstration and a classic home-baked “smoko” tea.

  • Indulge in curated outback meals, including daily gourmet buffet breakfasts, campfire saddle-bag lunches, and an interactive Stonegrill® dining experience.
