Do go on the Nogo Station experience :) Excellent tour guide and loved his sense of humour. Very informative and relaxed. Great lunch in the shade under the gumtrees. Lots to see.

The stories and the history were wonderfully told. The bush camp morning tea was generous esp with the flies

We learnt so much and had a super time. A trip around Longreach brought local history to life. Well known Aussie terms finally made sense especially in the shearing shed. Did you know shearers wore moccasins? The open top bus ride was lots of fun. We were amazed at the vastness and could almost imagine the isolation of the early pioneers. Lunch was delicious - (even if we had to share it with every fly in Australia.)
