NOT WORTH IT

2.00NOT WORTH IT. The bus trip out was good and staff seemed ok. BUT there was not enough food. The nibbles were pretty much non existent , the main tasty but was very very small , the desert was a small cube of cheesecake and a tiny blob of cream really a waste of time and straight out of the fridge. The best part of the meal was the slice of damper/golden syrup and a cup of tea. The entertainment was well not what was expected. We expected a show and there was a single artist singing. A bit average. Would not recommend this show.
Great entertainment and setting

5.00This was an outdoor experience that included dinner and show. The entertainment for tonight’s show played old and new country music songs and also did some requests. Dinner was served to the guests at their tables , we were on a table of 6 and it gave us a chance to chat to fellow travellers. After the main meal we could go up and get a hot piece of damper and either a tea or coffee. There was a bar at the venue where you could purchase drinks
Bit pricey for what you get

2.00Bit expensive for what you get. The blurb reads that you catch the train out to a lovely sunset and from there you go to Smithy’s for camp oven dinner. So, we board the train and are driven 30 minutes out of town. The canapés were absolutely lovely, thanks Emily, the train then stops and you are left looking at the sunset through the trees. One cool moment was kangaroos bounding next to the train, great for overseas travellers. Next thing we head back towards town and pull up a few km out of town to board a bus which literally drove us 500 metres. The setting at Smithy’s is really lovely and I guess we were a bit disappointed as we were looking forward to a camp oven experience and only one meal was camp oven cooked. The Barra was nice but being in sheep and cattle country I thought we’d be getting served the local produce. The lamb stew was nice but definitely not enough lamb. The singer was ok but we couldn’t hear each other talk so it was difficult to socialise. Then without warning the bar was shut and it was announced that we were to board the bus back. For $200 each plus another $50 or so on drinks we were a bit disappointed. Maybe the train could stop somewhere and you could get out and eat your canapés whilst watching the sun set? The camp oven dinner needs to be an actual camp oven dinner. The one boiled spud was disheartening and a few veg in the side needs some more thought.
A must on your Longreach Holiday
