'A once in a lifetime experience. Superably run and the most fun you can have on four legs'. Antony Phillips, Herald on Sunday, New Zealand 'A fantastic experience - excellent organisation, first class food and superb company. A really enjoyable weekend'. Vicki Williams, Tailor Made Travel, UK 'This event will position South Australia firmly as an Outback destination. The logistics of the operation are many and huge and your meeting the challenge is impressive'. Ian Johnston, Down Under Travel Bulletin, Australia 'No matter how nervous you are and how inexperienced in all things Outback (particularly horses and cattle), don't miss this experience. This is the essence of Australia. Night skies exploding with stars, clear days where you can see forever. And lots of friendly drovers to turn you into a real Aussie hero!' Kerry I'Anson, Tourism Australia, Australia 'I drove all day on Sunday and can't describe the experience. The people I met and the stories I heard changed my outlook on life and gave me an appreciation for Outback Australia, its people and culture. I encourage people from all walks of life to saddle up.' Diana Williams, Seven Network, Australia 'An outstanding opportunity to engage with local pastoralists whose lives and work are all too little understood. The scenery, accommodation, support crew, food and organisation ensured a unique and memorable few days'. Jane Doyle, Seven News, Australia 'The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive - 2006 Cattle Camp was a unique experience unlike no other. It was a combination of impressive luxury tent accommodation, droving cattle by horse, fantastic live music, delicious food, great touring and above all a spectacular outback location.' Cara Brook, SA Visitor & Travel Centre, Australia 'I had a terrific five days during the first week of The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive in April 2005. I've only been to Australia's cities before this trip but now I cannot think of a better introduction to the Aussie outback. It surpassed all my expectations - the facilities, the sunsets and sunrises, the sheer imposing beauty of such an uncompromising landscape'. Max Wooldridge, Travel Writer, The Mail on Sunday, UK 'The Outback event was a peerless, first-class affair all the way around and you and your cohorts deserve most of the credit as the logistics for such an event are astounding and the ability to pull it off so seamlessly is an incredible feat'. Tom Wilmer, Travel Editor, Central Coast Magazine, USA 'The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive was a real adventure. Intensive meetings with people, animals and extraordinary nature in the Outback make this event something really special. Following the tracks of famous Birdsville Track was very exciting and at the same time inspiring: my compliments to the organisers. Perfect logistics, optimal safety for man and beast and in addition a very warm hospitality'. Silvia Mettler, Writer, Travel Magazine, Switzerland |
