The ‘Man from Snowy River’ was Jack Riley, a cattleman who rode the High Country and inspired the celebrated poem by Banjo Paterson. This led to two movies, both filmed in our region. 

The 2-day Luxury Horse Ride through ‘Man from Snowy River’ country takes you right to the perilously steep hill where the nail-biting jump scene was filmed for the movie.

The 5-day High Country Cattle Drive is accompanied by Charlie Lovick, a seventh generation high country cattleman who was Master of Horses for the movies. Both adventures include plenty of local yarns and folklore, with hearty country food.

The Wilderness, Whitewater and Adventure Flight rafting journey takes you through the remote country where Jack Riley, who inspired the ‘Man from Snowy River’ poem, drove his cattle. You’ll also visit Hermits Farm, where bushman Frank Thomson lived a life of seclusion. Then history gives way to white water thrills, with more than 40 rapids grade 1 to 3 rapids
