Itinerary

DAY ONE Arrive at 9.30am at our high country farming property that’s been in the Watson family for many generations. We then set off on our ‘Man from Snowy River’ experience on horseback. We ride up to spectacular 360 degree views and along the way, watch out for the wildlife that often takes a look at us, including kangaroos, wallabies and the amazing birdlife. We ride to the Dungeon Hut for lunch. After lunch we depart the Dungeon Gully and then traverse the bridle tracks along creek beds and open tracks to the Howqua River and the ‘Hideout’. We enjoy a roast dinner and large campfire in the evening.

DAY TWO Next morning we enjoy an early hearty country breakfast and start our journey up the majestic Howqua River along the high track towards “Sheepyard Flat”. It is a picturesque days riding with spectacular views over the river, tree fern gullies and long cantering sections.

We ride through Wares Flat, Whisky Flat and Tobacco Flat and into the historic Howqua Hills National Park.

We stay in bunkhouse accommodation or can choose to sleep in a swag under the stars. Full toilet and shower facilities are on site.

DAY THREE A relaxing sleep in then and breakfast awaits. This is a day of relaxation where we explore the historic Howqua Hills area including Sheepyard Flat, ‘Professors Hut’, and ‘Fred Frys Hut’. After lunch we have time to relax and or enjoy a swim.
