Outback Pioneers invites everyone to come to Longreach and discover the heritage and pioneering spirit of outback Queensland. Step into pioneers shoes for holidays and experiences that entertain, educate and inspire. Owned and managed by the Kinnon family, Outback Pioneers reflects their love of the outback lifestyle and dedication to preserving it for future generations. What began in 2006 as a w

Between the months of April-October come and unleash your pioneering spirit with Outback Pioneers. The only place in Australia you can gallop in a Cobb & Co stagecoach along part of an old mail route, see the Harry Redford Old Time Tent Show and much more. You can also take a sunset cruise on the Thomson River to a stockman’s dinner around the campfire plus visit the Kinnon’s historic, working Nogo Station where Captain Starlight kept his stolen cattle and where station life continues to defy drought and distance.

Are you are looking for authentic, educational experiences? Our Nogo Station Experience takes guests to the heart of real life on a working station. That real life changes daily and weekly as different animals roam the plains and the landscape responds to the seasons.

“This is the real outback. It’s a truly different world. It’s unpredictable and tough on its residents but for us it’s still the ultimate Australian way of life. You have to come and experience it,” Richard Kinnon.

Last week at Trade Travel's NSW Annual Expo in Sydney, the buzz was all about travel. Richard Kinnon thoroughly enjoyed inspiring 140+ attendees to 'think Longreach' and Outback Pioneers for their next adventure!

Over the two days, conversations flowed, ideas sparked, and some lucky explorers walked away with prizes – even a mini, replica Cobb & Co Stagecoach!.

Longreach awaits... are you coming?
