On our Cobb & Co Stagecoach Experience you’ll travel in a restored stagecoach on our award-winning tour – first at a leisurely pace through town and then full-tilt along a stretch of the original Longreach-Windorah mail route. Hear the pounding hooves of the magnificent horses on the outback dirt road. Hear the rattle and creak of the coach. Hold on to your hat for the only stagecoach gallop in Australia! It’s exhilarating. It’s entertaining. And it’s the closest you can get to feeling what it would have been like in the pioneer past. After the ride (depending on your itinerary) slow down with a traditional smoko (scones, jam, cream with tea). You'll also enjoy a classic Australian bush movie in retro cinema seats, followed by our Old Time Tent Show – a live performance featuring the very entertaining Kinnon boys. This is good old fashioned fun for all the family and is a tribute to the old travelling shows.

We enjoyed the coach tour especially when the horses got into a gallop. We also enjoyed the show, really the whole experience.

A fantastic coach ride with the driver sharing a lot of information. I like the tent show and morning tea and I learned a lot about working sheep dogs. The Chips Raffety film was a lot of fun.

Where else can you and your loved one, ride in an authentic Cobb & Co stage coach? Not many places within Australia, I can tell you, but in Longreach Central Queensland! Using genuine stage coaches and driving practices of the day, you get to experience the comfort, or somewhat ruggedness, of the old stage coaches of the past. Highly skilled drivers take eager eyed passengers, through the streets of Longreach, then weather permitting, take you out onto the Common, for some high speed galloping across the plains. History in today's world!!
