Dear horse lovers, Get organized and COME ALONG!.
A unique chance to view our Australian brumbies running free, covering up to 40km a day to get to their waterholes, bare hooves of steel, and in tip top condition while living on what appears to be nothing –our brumbies are horses worthy of sussing out. The environment and diet in the outback has determined the way these horses have developed. They really are magnificent steeds. Other tour highlights – Local guides with knowledge and experience to take us way out back. The sunrises and sunsets are really special out there. Spectacular in fact. The wildlife makes you proud to be Australian – screaming galahs, racing emus and bounding big kangaroos, frill necked lizards guaranteed to poke their tongue out at you and eagles that could pick you up and take you on a scenic flight.
Alice Springs is a unique place We are going way out back.. concentrating in Western Arrente Country. Some of this country very few white fella have ever seen. Oak Valley, Finke River, Finke Gorge National Park, Areyonda, Razorback and George Gill Ranges Country.
