Authentic Nogo Station Experience, Longreach
You rarely feel closer to the iconic Australian life than when you’re on an outback station. This signature working station visit helps you appreciate the size of stations, their isolation, and the magnitude of the challenges they face. Although Nogo is only 20 minutes drive from Longreach, you’ll find yourself in a different world.
Your Kinnon family host will keep you enthralled with tales of pioneering station life, past and present. You’ll discover the merino story and meet the merinos in the historic woolsheds, you’ll join your hosts on the water run, you’ll see the ruins of Captain Starlight’s famous stockyards and you’ll see domestic animals, feral animals and wildlife on the sunlit plains.
Please let your travel consultant know when you book if you have any special dietary requirements.
