Unique & Unforgettable

Texas Longhorn Safari

The Texas Longhorn Safari is the perfect way to see and learn about the fascinating history of these historical and magnificent cattle. They are direct descendents of the millions of Texas Longhorns that walked in the great trail herds from Texas in the late 1800's.

Get up close (and sometimes personal) to the spectacular herd of genuine full-blood Texas Longhorns including the longest horned cattle in Australia. There are more 100+ inch cattle on display than anywhere else in the world!

You will also see American Buffalo (Bison), Mexican Sardo Negro, African Ankole Watusi and Scottish Highland cattle... A bovine experience like no other!

Sit back and take in the History of the Texas Longhorns video presentation filmed on location at Leahton Park under the shade of 'Wagon Wheel' dining shed.

An unforgettable part of this unique experience is the tour of the ‘The Longhorn Love Shack’. You will also get to see the ‘JR Gallery of Horns’ including our own Guinness World Record horned steer on display as well as other interesting and unique 'horn' products.

Your visit also includes a delicious Aussie Bush smoko (morning tea) under the big shade trees at the homestead.
