Memorable & Unique! To view the magnificent herd of Texas Longhorns, Texas Longhorn Tours features one of the last horse drawn wagon ride experiences in Australia as well as the original Longhorn Safari. See some of the longest horned cattle in the world that are direct descendants of the millions of Texas Longhorns that walked in the great trail herds from Texas in the late 1800s! A must see if you are looking for things to do when visting Charters Towers, North Queensland.
Texas Longhorns are the old west cattle that were the salvation of Texas back in late 1800's and as a result, the legend of the cowboy was born. Everyone has seen a cowboy or western movie and now you can see how the legend started….
See for yourself how magnificent these huge horned animals are up close. Many steers have horns spanning more than 100 inches tip-to-tip and JR, who was a former Guinness World Record Holder, is on display with horns exceeding 10 feet 4 inches or 3.15m!
You have all heard that "Everything is bigger in Texas" so get yourself to Texas Longhorn Tours and you will see that sometimes "Things are BIGGER in Queensland"
Situated on Leahton Park - a lovely family owned property just 10km from the famous gold town of Charters Towers in North Queensland, Texas Longhorn Tours is a 'must do' when visiting the area.

Had an absolute great morning there. The couple who run it are soo enthusiastic about what they do & really knowable. Linda is so lovely & Mick is full of great dad jokes! Had a heap of fun learning about the different cattle & being driven around in buggies to see them, photograph them & even touch them!
