The Outback Dinning Experience For Everyone

One of the most fun experiences in Australia is the Australian Outback Adventure. It is a dinner show, presented by Australian icon R.M. Williams, complete with outback music, drama and action. It is set in a giant arena with 1000 seats, and has a cast of characters that include both human and animal. When you arrive for dinner you are split into two groups and given either a maroon or oatmeal coloured hat. The colour of your hat depicts the station that you will be cheering for during the battles for top station.

The competition is between the Austral Downs and the Wondola Station. During battles their are those that ride hanging off the saddles of galloping horses to race their flags across the finish line, some competitions are seeing who can hang the most hats on the homestead and then there is the traditional storytelling and bush poetry around the campfire. Also, true to any Australian entertainment there is a rendition of Waltzing Matilda and The Man From Snowy River. The show is finished with a the display of the Australian flag, that’s as big and beautiful as the Outback.

During the performance you also will be able to enjoy a three course, authentic Aussie BBQ. Starting with a mixed Queensland salad with mango dressing, followed by barbecued beef tenderloin with gravy, Kakadu plum sauce, green vegetables and Australian Damper. For dessert you will be served a traditional baked Pavlova with Queensland berries, country cream and Bush Billy Tea. Children also has a choice of beef sausages, for dinner, and vegetarian meals are available upon request. Beer, wine and cola are also available throughout the show, as requested.

The cast and crew (consisting of stunt riders, stockmen, and women) capture the imagination of the audience through through ability to work with the animals. Through the show you will see a total of 59 horses, 11 Longhorn, 11 Santa Gertrudis cattle, 3 camels, 50 sheep, 3 dogs and 5 piglets. All the animals have been trained by positive reinforcement from experienced trainers Tony Jablonski and Brett Walsh. Both Jablonski and Walsh have trained animals, from many years, to preform live, on television set, and in movies.

The dogs that appear are short haired border collies and were chosen as this breed typifies the type of working dog in Australia. These delightful and highly intelligent dogs will thrill and captivate you as they display their skills at mustering sheep during the show and its hard to know who enjoys it the most – the dogs or the audience!
