Established in 2009, Texas Longhorn Tours brings history to life with one of the last remaining horse-drawn wagon ride adventures in Australia, along with the original Texas Longhorn Safari. Marvel at some of the longest-horned cattle in the world — direct descendants of the millions of Texas Longhorns that walked the great trail herds from Texas in the late 1800s — and discover how the legend of the cowboy was born.
Get up close — and sometimes personal — with this magnificent herd of genuine full-blood Texas Longhorns. With more 100+ inch horned cattle on display than anywhere else in the world, including two world record holders, it’s a sight you’ll never forget.
If you’re exploring North Queensland, this is an absolute must-see experience.
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!

The four of us had a fantastic tour, with so much to see. The long horns are wonderful to view - with lots of close up encounters. Our host, Lynda, was so informative and answered all our questions. The morning tea was delicious and the setting we sat to have our smoko was great. They have done a fabulous job on their property and are very professional...
