In Brief

Your Colonial Way holiday begins
when you arrive at our place and load your gear into one of our freshly prepared wagons. We'll choose a Clydesdale to suit you and show you how to groom, feed and harness.

After a discussion of your interests, we'll map out your first day's travel. Routes are flexible and centred around the riverland, bushland, farmland of the richest gold area in Australia. Then you're on your way. One of us will ride with you for the first few kilometres to show you the ropes (reins) and as soon as you feel comfortable we'll leave you to enjoy the day.

We'll meet up with you as you near your first campsite and help you unharness, settle the horse and make camp. We will call on the second morning (and each morning until you're comfortable starting off by yourself) to assist you get started. Each evening when we call we'll bring food for your horse and any shopping you need as well as collect the garbage. We'll help plan the next day's travel…and give you a few pointers as to what to look for along the way.

By the end of the week you'll return a wagon driving expert, completely relaxed and refreshed and you might just not want to go home.
