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.

Outback Pioneers and The Staging Post are proud to be sponsoring Storyfest Out West for the fourth year. It’s an event close to our hearts here in Longreach, where talented authors come together to run workshops and inspire bush kids to tell their own stories. It’s a special day where our community can come together around the magic of storytelling.

We’re also thrilled Richard Kinnon will be amongst the authors, sharing more of his yarns with the bush kids. It’s a wonderful chance for everyone to listen, learn, and be inspired.

If you’re part of a school or a family, we encourage you to go online and book your tickets for September now. We look forward to welcoming you to celebrate the spirit of storytelling in the Outback.
