Step back in time at Nogo Station’s historic shearing shed, where the heart of Longreach’s sheep industry comes to life. Watch a skilled sheepdog in action, expertly mustering the flock before stepping inside the shearing shed to meet the magnificent Merinos. Here, a member of the Kinnon family will share the fascinating story of wool—from the sheep’s back to the world’s markets. To truly understand Longreach, you must understand the role of sheep, and there’s no better place to experience it than at Nogo Station.

Climb aboard an open-top double-decker bus and take in breathtaking views of the vast outback plains. Spot wedge-tailed eagles soaring overhead and watch as local wildlife mingles with iconic cattle breeds, hardy stock horses, and even feral animals like desert camels, wild donkeys, and pigs. Just over 20 kilometres from here, Banjo Paterson found inspiration for his famous words—the ‘vision splendid of sunlit plains extended.’ Experience the landscapes that shaped Australia’s outback legends on this unforgettable safari.
