Early rains mean closing for the Wet Season
October 28th, 2010 by Alida WoodlandWe have had seven inches of rain over the last two weeks! The King River is running, the country is greening up, the waterholes are full, and the mosquitoes are in full force. We have decided to close on November 1, and will re-open early April, weather permitting. However, we welcome emails and phone calls while we are closed.

Horse Trekking the East Kimberley, June 13-19
May 4th, 2010 by Alida WoodlandJune is one of the best months to go horse riding in the Kimberley. The days are warm and the nights are cool. Join us on a seven day trek through magnificent country. We pick up guests in Kununurra the day before the trek departs and return guests to Kununurra the day after the trek finishes.
This fella's ready to go trekking!
The horses are sure-footed and willing. The food is home-cooked and plenty of it. The swags are comfortable. And the landscape is breathtaking.
Join us for a memory- making adventure.

riding along the King River
We would like to run an overnight horse trek on May 27 and 28 from Diggers Rest Station. The trek includes two full days of riding, and accommodation and meals from the evening of May 26 through the morning of May 29. We camp out in swags on the night of May 27.
The last overnight trek was fantastic. The country is still looking good from the wet season, and breezes have picked up during the day.
Join us for a great adventure on sure-footed, willing horses.
