Barcaldine Tours: Dunraven Station QLD
A family owned property for over 100 years. Come and see how life on a property works and runs. Meet real country historians with years of knowledge and experience. Let our home make you feel part of the real outback.
Their tag-along tour around the property covers 30 kilometres and takes two to 2.5 hours, depending on what’s happening at the time. The tour is off road so preferably you’ll need a 4WD but there’s room in their vehicle for smaller groups. They hook you up up with two-way radios and off they go exploring.
Every tour is different, but they usually stop to see property activities from shearing to mustering and fencing depending on the season. They’ll check out their working Artesian bore and enjoy Roberta’s famous ‘smoko’ in the shearing shed. You’ll learn about the unique bush and landscape and maybe see rooms, emus and some of the hundreds of bird species that call Dunraven home.
Children are more than welcome and depending on the time of year you may get to feed the lambs!
