The Channel Country Cattle Tour 2026

Tour Full

Tour Details

The Channel Country is one of the most sparsely populated areas of Outback Queensland, but what it lacks in people it makes up for in cattle. Fed by rivers, such as the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper Creek, its braided channels come to life after rain, creating rich cattle-fattening country. The tour begins and ends in Longreach, home of the Stockman’s Hall of Fame, and features visits to well-known cattle stations, character-filled outback towns including Winton, Boulia and Bedourie, plus two nights at the iconic Birdsville Hotel.

Tour Highlights:

  • Visit iconic and successful company and privately owned stations
  • Birdsville and a 2-night stay at the iconic Birdsville Hotel encompassing the surrounding area – the Racecourse, Big Red, Channel Country , Simpson & Sturt Stony Deserts
  • Longreach – the heart of outback Queensland
  • Winton and a guided tour at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs
  • Sunset drinks on the top Big Red Sand Dune

Back from another amazing trip! China is the most amazing place. The organisers really turned it on with the first Fonterra Farmers trip. The hotels were beautiful – we kept saying they couldn’t get better but they did!

A lovely mix of farming venues and sight seeing – the Great Wall, Terracotta Army and then the cruise down the Yangtze to see the 3 Gorges Dam.. mind blowing and should be on everyones bucket list. So many highlights, too many to mention but the food, the people and the culture plus many friends made on the trip.. a lifetime of memories.
