Travel by air-conditioned minibus to Living Legends – home to some favourite retired champion race horses such as Behemoth, Santa Ana Lane, Apache Cat, Silent Witness, Brew, Efficient, Tom Melbourne, Fawkner and Almandin. Enjoy the opportunity to meet, pat and feed the horses and talk to the stable hands that care for them.
Living Legends is part of Woodlands Park and is modelled closely on the Home of Rest for Horses in the United Kingdom. Like the Home of Rest, they aim to support equine research, education and training to benefit horses of all ages and breeds. Special emphasis, however, is given to the care of older horses.
While there, relax in the beautiful, historic homestead of Woodlands Historic Park with a delicious Devonshire Tea and take some time to explore the on-site museum before travelling back to your cruise ship or hotel.
* Parts of this tour take place on foot so please make sure to wear weather-appropriate, comfortable clothing and footwear.

Very comfy transport in a Mercedes van with our own personal tour guide! On arrival at the homestead we could have a look around then had a lovely Devonshire tea prior to the actual tour starting. You join the "Living Legends" tour with loads of carrots and .buggy transport if needed. Otherwise it is an easy walk from paddock to paddock engaging with the likes of Apache Cat, Brew(almost 30!),The Cleaner, Bohemeth amongst many others!
If you have a love for horses it is a hoot. All questions can be answered by either Jess or the Legends tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with some great pics. Our bonus was meeting the delightful Kate(volunteer) and her Rottweiler who offered her assistance in calling Bohemeth to the fence. He and many of the others come for the dog experience and her liquorice!!!!
On completion of the tour Jess returned us to the city and even dropped us off in an area that we requested. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jess and her tour company for this and any of the other tours that sounded great.


Informed. A great time for a novice visitor and her Aussie friends.




We could not fault the tour Jess's efforts and knowledge that she passed on to two older Australians already well versed on our history. We learnt a lot.
Jess was a safe driver and always prompt
Jess also gave us space for our own appropriate amount of time without prompting.
Well done Jess




A relaxing day with a beautiful lunch provided.
Our guide was friendly and it was a lovely way to spend time reconnecting with friends after so long. Lots of laughs and drinks. We honestly didn’t want to come home.
I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.








We found our host/driver to be Fun, Informative and Friendly.
The tour is very relaxed and casual with little time pressures to keep moving on.
We were disappointed that we couldn’t get into the band rooms at the Corner Hotel, Richmond and the Gershwin Room at the Espy, St Kilda for a behind the scenes look.
