Carinya Station – Out the Back Tours
Beyond the Gate – Sundowner Edition
Premium guided tour with a sunset campfire finish
Join us as the day winds down and the sky puts on its best show. No two sunsets are alike, yet the feeling never changes: good company, great food, and the timeless calm of the outback all around.
Your tour starts the moment you arrive: Meet the ‘Team’ Joe and Jacinda, the owners, at the homestead for a warm welcome. With a firm handshake and the love of a good chat, they share their genuine outback hospitality. Visitors often remark that they're ‘made to feel like they're being welcomed home’
Then, step into The Boss’s Ride, our air-conditioned farm buggy, for a 3-hour journey through the rolling black soil plains, sandhills and open skies. Witness the season’s story firsthand: Our livestock and cropping operations, reflecting the land’s resilience through dry spells and the wet. Marvel at the outback’s stark beauty as dusk nears.
As the sun falls, watch wildlife roam, birds settle, and the land soften under fading light, each evening unfolding uniquely as seasons shift, leaving us captivated by the beauty of the often-dry outback.
Discover the land’s evening rhythms. Share stories by the campfire, under the stars. Build real connections with every conversation.
Wind down by the campfire’s warmth as the sun dips, enjoying canapés and sippers. All grown on farm and cooked in our kitchen by Jacinda.
