An evening of outback tradition and legend.
Cruise down the splendid Thomson River at sunset on one of our heritage boats. Watch the birds come home to roost on the riverbanks and learn about the local flora, fauna and history. (Nibbles provided, BYO alcohol)
As darkness falls, the boat moors at Outback Pioneers' river camp for a 2-course stockman’s dinner around the campfire. Our bush poet charms the crowd. After dinner watch the ‘Starlight’s Spectacular Sound & Light Show’ – a movie in the open-air riverbank theatre. The Kinnon family commissioned this exclusive movie to celebrate the tale of Captain Starlight. Finally, enjoy tea, damper and golden syrup by the campfire under a million stars.

Enjoy a gentle sunset cruise down the majestic Thomson River, where birds flock home to roost on the riverbanks. This is Longreach’s original Thomson River Cruise and still a must-do for every visitor to Longreach. There are endless photo opportunities and an insightful commentary as you pass natural features. You'll be cruising on the original paddlewheeler, which has riverside seats all around and lets you capture photos of the photogenic river at sunset.
We go ashore for a traditional stockman’s camp-fire dinner. This is the real outback experience with inspiring and humorous traditional entertainment featuring our bush poet and your Kinnon family host.

We had a great time.The cruise was short but the sunset view was so pretty. After the cruise the stew by the campfire was wonderful and the poetry delightful.

A great experience. The staff were all cheerful, personable and entertaining. The boat ride was pleasant, unfortunately with lots of clouds the sunset was a bit disappointing. However we did get some nibbles on our journey. The campfire setting was well set out and there was a great ambience. The meal was generally authentic and delicious. It was all served in a very orderly fashion and there were seconds if you wanted them. The entertainment of the evening was great and very informative about the history of the stockmen. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

We flew in with qantas and stayed at the Stagecoach motel which was wonderful! The owners are all over the tourist experience and this little motel, on the main street is the best located motel of any. Amazingly set up and decorated in the original country style, the old pub which is now their reception and restaurant was excellent. Every effort to please makes your entire holiday perfect. Be sure to go to QANTAS museum!

A great introduction to Longreach with some history about the river and paddleboat. Good food, I was full from the nibbles, dinner, desert and tea and damper. Beautiful bush poetry around the fire. All with a little bush humour thrown in.
