Jackaroo Jillaroo 5 Day Course
Mate, if you're looking for the real Australia then here's how to get into it - the Station way of life that city slickers can only dream about.
Check out all the activities on our Jackaroo Jillaroo Program.
We'll build your skills fast so you can get amongst the action and be immersed in all the "work in progress" on working stations in no time.Its New rider: No worries mate. We have "bombproof" horses and we'll ensure you'll get familiarised around all the animals and machinery in no time.
We'll start you off nice and easy and bring everyone along at a steady pace. We have zippy horses for riders too and no matter what your ability we guarantee that you'll "ride till your bum hurts".
 Being shy isn't the Aussie country way mate. That's why you'll be welcomed in just like one of the family. You'll get lashings of country cooked meals and sleep sound in station style comfort. When the sun sets on a great week you'll have top memories of the true Australian Station way of life and be inspired for more.
