Australia's Cattle Drive

The cattle are stirring, lowing and stamping the red earth, the morning sky streaks with golden light ad the air is laced with the aroma of hot, strong coffee. These are the quiet moments before you saddle up and “move ‘em out” on South Australia’s Oodnadatta Track.

You will ride with Australian drovers through the Outback wilderness as part of an annual drive starting in Oodnadatta and ending in Maree. The landscape is one of stony plains, cresting dunes, ancient uplifts and springs, dazzling salt lakes and parched river beds. The track follows what’s left of the Overland Telegraph line and is full of tales of settlers and the stories of the Indigenous people.
