OUTBACK PIONEERS

Bookings Essential

OPERATES APRIL TO OCTOBER

We started the Kinnon & Co tourism venture in 2006 to help supplement our grazing business in the unpredictable outback climate but it has always been more than a business venture for us.

We love this land, its heritage, its stories and its colourful characters and, together with our team, we enjoy sharing an authentic experience of this amazing place with visitors.

Our experiences have won tourism awards but the biggest rewards for us are the smiles on people’s faces and their pleasure in discovering the outback heritage.

On our tours you’ll get real insights into how this land both inspires and challenges us. We will help you understand what pioneering families endured and why we are proud to call the outback home. You can also stay at our heritage-inspired Outback Accommodation.

We invite you to spend a few days with the Outback Pioneers team and absorb these truly Australian experiences you won’t find anywhere else on earth.
