The Channel Country Cattle Tour

Vast, untamed and unforgettable, Queensland’s Channel Country is one of Australia’s last great outback frontiers. Though sparsely populated, this remarkable region is rich in pastoral heritage, with sprawling cattle stations nourished by the waters of the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper Creek systems.

After seasonal rains, the network of braided channels transforms the landscape into fertile grazing country that helped build the legendary cattle empire of Sir Sidney Kidman.

Beginning and ending in Longreach, home to the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame, this journey explores renowned cattle stations and outback towns including Winton, Boulia and Bedourie. Enjoy two nights at the legendary Birdsville Hotel and experience breathtaking landscapes of endless horizons, red sand dunes and abundant birdlife. Once experienced, the magic of the Channel Country stays with you forever.
