Our first stop is the Napwerte/Ewaninga Aboriginal Rock Carvings conservation reserve, where you will discover the fascinating petroglyphs of the Arrernte people.

Next, we travel to Ooraminna Station Homestead. This working cattle station offers a genuine glimpse into the outback lifestyle and features the film set of “The Drover’s Boy”, complete with its own rustic outback saloon. Enjoy a relaxing morning tea on the homestead deck, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the bush.
