The beginning of an historic journey, a unique journey - your journey.
Get ready to sit back and be apart of an historical re-enactment, moving a real herd through real outback wilderness. Located on Anna Creek Station, you have the rare opportunity to enter the world’s largest cattle station, measuring 23,000 square kilometres (5.5million acres), which is roughly the size of Belgium. The station has been continuously occupied since it was located in 1872, resisting the effects of drought, flood and adverse economic conditions - the only property in the region to have done so. On your first afternoon, you'll be a part of the 'handover and counting of cattle', the official start of the Drive. Next morning it's down to business. The scenery is spectacular with sandy dunes & wide flat corridors covered with native plants such as hopbush and horse mulga. You will follow the remains of the original Ghan railway track as well as what’s left of the Overland Telegraph line - critical in the settling of Australia’s interior. Hear stories of the settlers, their successes and failures along with historical accounts by descendants from original inhabitants, the indigenous people.
