Back from another amazing trip! (my 4th with C R McPhail). China is the most amazing place. Ron and his team 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.
There’s no place more unique, diverse, and stunning than the Outback of Queensland!
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, including the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper Creek, the Channel Country is a region of braided channels that come to life after rain, producing rich cattle-fattening pastures. This is where Sir Sidney Kidman, the legendary Cattle King, carved out an enormous cattle empire. Visit renowned cattle stations, meet the people and get to understand their resilience, why this raw and unpredictable country is their life, and what makes the outback so special!
This tour operates away from the tourist areas, so accommodation and transport are not what you’d find in more conventional areas.
