Enjoy private ensuited accommodation fine local food and wine, pre-dinner nibbles on the terrace overlooking the valley and river.


The next day we follow bridle tracks, visiting historical points of interest and hearing colourful stories of local characters. We explore many broad flats and marvel at the remoteness and beauty of this country. Just be prepared to get wet at the river crossings! We visit famous downhill scenes from the ?Man from Snowy River', and realise how awe-inspiring the bravery and skills of the riders were in this movie.
