Arrive at the Watson family farm by 9.30am. Our farm has accommodation.jpgbeen owned by our family for many generations.

After saddling up, we set off on our ‘Man from Snowy River’ experience on horseback. We guide yous way up to spectacular 360 degree views, then we see the perilously steep hill where the famous jump scene from the movie was filmed. Along the way, watch out for the wildlife that often takes a look at us, including kangaroos, wallabies and Australia’s largest bird of flight, the wedge tail eagle.

We stop at 'Dungeon Gully' Hut for lunch, enjoying a gourmet hamper and then in the afternoon  we traverse bridle tracks through quiet valleys and points of rich historical interest.

We arrive at the celebrated Riverhouse at Howqua Dale, a magnificent country house hotel on the banks of the Howqua River. The 6 double rooms with ensuites all have beautiful views of the garden or countryside.

Enjoy a relaxing hot shower before a riverside BBQ dinner in one of Victoria’s prettiest valleys.

Next morning Howqua Dale’s famous country breakfast gives you a big energy boost before we set off for "Kate Cameron's Peak" where we see the periously steep descent where the famous jump scene from the movie was filmed. We wind our way back down to the valley floor through farmland to Kinloch Winery for a sumptuous platter lunch. After lunch it is a short ride back to farm finishing by about 3pm.
