3-Day Family Outback Explorer Tour of Cunnamulla

On arrival at Club Boutique Hotel, say g’day, grab a drink and then head out to the campfire and pick your seat. Meet other travellers as well as some local characters. Meet Les Capewell, retired boss drover or another local entertainer. Watch the whip cracking demonstration by the pro, old Les, and have a go if you want. Our local characters want to share their yarns, life experience, stories and culture of the Australian outback with you as you experience old fashioned hearty busk tucker, with good times and great company. This lunch will be a highlight of your adventure. During lunch enjoy the stories and yarns then swing the Billy for a cuppa. In the afternoon get your adrenalin pumping as we take you to the massive sand dunes where you will navigate your way down on a sand board or sled. Great fun for all the family.

Travel to Yowah, the only place in the world you can find a type of opal called a Yowah nut. Be amazed as you travel around the town with a local miner and hear the stories of the past and present miners all searching for the perfect gem. Take a mine tour then get cracking some nuts of your own with the guidance of a long term miner who will help you cut and polish your find. With your own opal in hand late afternoon depart for the heritage town of Eulo where you can experience the mud springs and a tour of the town before departing to Cunnamulla for another magnificent dinner.

Travel back 100 million years in time in the Artesian Time Tunnel and learn all about the Artesian Basin and how it opened up this area to settlers. Browse through the museum and don’t forget the regional gallery, which hosts stunning works of art. The afternoon brings an adventure on the Warrego River as we kayak and explore this magnificent outback river system that goes back to the Jurassic period.

Visit the local shops at your leisure and you may find that special souvenir or gift you are looking for. Embark on a tour of Cunnamulla and learn about the local industry developments. Discover how Cunnamulla came to be and what is making this small town in the outback tick today. By the end you will know more about what is happening than the locals!
