The Channel Country is one of the most sparsely populated areas of Outback Queensland, but what it lacks in people, it makes up for in cattle. Fed by rivers, including the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper Creek, the Channel Country is a region of braided channels that come to life after rain, producing rich cattle-fattening pastures. This is where Sir Sidney Kidman, the legendary Cattle King, carved out an enormous cattle empire. The tour commences and finishes in Longreach, home of the Stockman’s Hall of Fame, and includes visits to well-known cattle stations, quaint and quirky outback towns – Winton, Boulia and Bedourie, plus two nights at the iconic Birdsville Hotel.
