All aboard our unforgettable 2000 class Rail Motor for the Great Darr River Rail Run. Take a different perspective of the country as we bring alive the natural and cultural heritage. Step off the Rail Motors for a short Mulga walk, learn the bush medicines and the Leander Sand Ridge secrets. An unforgettable highlight on this trip is the homemade morning tea after arriving at the beautiful Darr River waterhole. Returning to Longreach after many great memories and stories to share.
The colours of the outback come alive at sunset as you glide down the Thomson River aboard the M.V. Longreach Explorer. After a warm welcome by our experienced crew, take your seat on the top deck ready to capture 360-degree sweeping, river and floodplain views. Our skipper will enthral you with captivating stories about the river, its wildlife, and Indigenous heritage. Purchase an icy cold drink from our licensed bar to pair with complimentary savoury nibbles delights.
Photo opportunities are endless, but our stop at Sunset Bend is the hands-down a favourite. As the vibrant sunset colours fade into starlight, we dock at Smithy’s Outback Dinner & Show.
Settle back and enjoy an evening to remember dining under the stars beside the Coolibah-lined Thomson River. Enjoy the ease of table-service as you tuck into succulent camp-oven cuisine cooked on a fire of gidgee coals at Smithy’s followed up with seasonal deserts. Round the evening off with freshly baked damper and your choice of billy tea or coffee. A good selection of wine, cold beer, softdrinks, and select pre-mixes are available for purchase from our licensed bar. Live on stage our talented outback performer will entertain you with their songs and stories.
This night out at the award-winning Smity’s is a ‘must do’ experience.
