Additional Information

Embark on our Cobb & Co Stagecoach Experience, where you’ll traverse in an authentically restored stagecoach during our renowned tour. Begin with a tranquil journey through the city, swiftly progressing to an exciting gallop along a portion of the initial Longreach-Windorah postal route. Listen to the impacting hooves of our majestic horses on the rural dirt trail, accompanied by the rumble and squeak of the carriage. Prepare yourself for Australia’s sole stagecoach dash! It’s electrifying. It’s captivating. It’s the nearest experience to reliving the early settler era. Following the exhilarating ride (depending on your schedule) unwind with a conventional smoko (scones, jam, cream paired with tea). Furthermore, relish a quintessential Australian bush movie in vintage cinema chairs, succeeded by our Old Time Tent Show – a live enactment starring the highly engaging Kinnon boys. A homage to the earlier travelling performances, this is wholesome, old-time enjoyment for all ages.

  • Is it suitable for those with delicate backs/necks? It is like driving in a 4WD on a gravel road. the experience includes a short gallop along a dirt track. If you feel this will upset your neck or back, Outback Pioneers suggests reconsidering.
  • Please call Outback Pioneers if you have dietary requirements.

We did it all! Every tour with Outback Pioneers is worth doing. Five Stars. - My friend and I stayed in the very authentic and amazingly comfortable 'The Stables' accommodation in Longreach and each day, we went on tour with Outback Pioneers. Their organisation was excellent. Such a friendly, welcoming setup - from the first morning coffee served by Dominic, to breakfast with the lovely Diana in the dining room, we had no complaints. Richard Kinnon gave us an exciting ride on the stagecoach. His son Jeremy took us on an entertaining visit to Nogo Station, the family property. Vern drove us to a most enjoyable evening on the riverboat cruise. He also took us to the Dinosaur Discovery Centre in Winton, The Waltzing Matilda Centre and back in Longreach, the Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame and the Qantas Founders Museum. I think we saw it all! Highly recommend Outback Pioneers if you are thinking of visiting Longreach.

Fantastic Stage Coach experience, more than we expected - This was a fantastic experience that our whole party (70, 69, 36 and 3.5) loved. My father (70) has back issues but he found the ride to be fine and it did not aggravate his back at all. The stage coach ride itself was brilliant and we were not expecting the freshly baked scones with jam and cream afterwards. The movie is quite an old film and was boring for my little one so we stepped out for that while my parents continued to watch it. We then all really enjoyed the old time tent show at the end.
