ITINERARY
DAY 1
Arrive 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 2
After a cooked breakfast we follow the high track up the river through Running Creek Reserve with spectacular views over the river. We enjoy a pack saddle lunch and then return via the river track with many crossings and exciting cantering sections. We return to the ‘Hideout’ for the evening with a BBQ dinner and campfire fun.
DAY 3
Next morning we enjoy a hearty country breakfast that gives you a big energy boost before we set off down the high track and then head for “Kate Camerons Peak” where we see the perilously steep hill where the famous jump scene from the movie was filmed. We wind our way back down to the valley floor to the farm house for lunch to complete our ride.
