G'day! My husband and I and our three sons (6,7,10years)live on our 600 acre beef cattle farm situated in the base of the Snowy Mountains Victoria with views looking over Mt Kosciusko - the highest mountain in Australia. We love the high country tradtions and love to teach this to our children. We have just started horseback adventures and will retrace over Jack Riley's bridle paths and history. Commonly referred to as The Man from Snowy River! The life on our farm is truly relaxing and the work is very rewardable. The seasons are very extreme which makes it all the more exciting. You can visit our website, www.barmhorsebackadventures.com.au We will be updating all the time!! Cheers Belinda Australia Modern Day Australian Dude Ranch!

When we did the mustering for the neighbouring property of El Questro, with a herd of about 5000 at the time, we had guests join us on the muster. Nowadays, we only have a small herd of cattle ourselves, so our muster takes all of a day or two. We do a lot of work with horses, and much of our business these days is taking people out riding in the bush, from one hour up to 11 days. The only other 'dude ranch' type activity I know of is the big cattle drive they have every year, I think its down in South Australia...but far from authentic. I'm sure it would be good fun though for someone who has never been in the Outback before. Regards, Alida Hello,
