Summer; gleaming fit horses, fresh mountain streams, shady hammocks, veggie gardens abundant. High Country Pack Horse Adventures Adventures.
Autumn; the garden of deciduous trees filling the valleys with glorious colour. The North East, famous for its extraordinary light. Clear starry nights, snow gum trunks glow with shades of greens, orange and greys. Black Cockatoos descend from their mountain nests. Horses growing woolly coats, preparing for the coming winter. You can watch the herd of horses canter into the yards ready to be saddled in the stables, with steaming breath and pounding hooves, from your room or the big window of the rider lounge.
Winter; Wake in our cosy warm rooms to a sparkling frost, snow covered mountain views. You can rug up and ride the trails in wooly jumpers and oilskin coats (provided) on one day or spend a day on the slopes skiing.
