Katherine Outback Experience

Get along and see this amazing show put on by a top bunch of Territorians & their beautiful animals! Support these local legends who tirelessly support Australia’s community from drought affected families to Dollys Dream. So glad we finally got to see the show & worth every cent. Loved that we could camp
the night along with having access to beautiful amenities. Our favourite were the dogs & getting to snuggle with the puppies. The live music event afterwards was top notch with excellent performances & don’t forget the yummy cheese platter provided for free! Thanks so much for having us we had a ton of fun.

My Teenagers were engrossed with the show and inspired to follow a passion. They went horse riding before the show as well. Neat, well run and all staff were friendly.

I cannot recommend this highly enough, this is a definite 'MUST DO' when in Katherine. The whole Outback Experience team are just so passionate about everything they do. We loved the horses, the working dogs (oh my gosh the puppies were SO adorable), and the goats, donkey, water buffalo and Brahman calves were just an added bonus. Being able to get up close to the animals was such a treat and being able to watch the team train the horses and working dogs was so very entertaining and educational.there was certainly lots of laughter to be had. Tom Curtain is one very, very talented gentleman (in every sense). He blew us away with his singing and musical talents, his horse riding abilities, and his obvious love, dedication and talent for training the animals. We were treated so very well by the entire team, with treats and morning tea provided with a smile. I also purchased Tom's latest CD, 'We're Still Here' and it's absolutely brilliant! The love and passion he has for his family and for the bush is so evident throughout the Outback Experience show and in every song on his CD. Thanks guys for a fabulous morning. If we didn't live so far away we'd come back again and again.

Tom and his staff provide a very welcoming and casual experience. Their stories and demonstrations are excellent. There's multiple opportunities for kids and guests to get up and close to the animals. They also provided water, ice blocks, and afternoon tea at various points during the show.

Tom and all the crew especially Mardi the young pup.
We loved you all.
Thanks Deb and Vic Portelli

Was a great performance. Animals were doing what animals do best showing off, when they were meant to be performing. But as a working station you get an experience of how it really works.

Well worth the visit! You experience the basics of animal training on a farm. Very knowledgeable staff who are passionate about their jobs. Cute doggos are the best part. Will be returning! Cheers Tom and the whole crew

Great show put on by a range of talented horse men and women. Horse and dog " whispering" techniques explained and demonstrated.

This is without doubt one of the best shows we have experienced on our around Australia caravan trip. Tom and his assistants provided an excellent service ensuring that you were comfortable during the show. Tom personally greeted everyone that came, and the girls came around with a cold refreshing towel for you to keep cool in the massive under cover arena. The kids could also interact with some the animals during the show.
The show was a complete learning experience seeing how wild horses were broken in for riding and cattle mustering. The way Tom handled and trained the working dogs was absolutely incredible using only his voice to command the dogs to do certain mustering and rounding up tasks. The dogs were totally fixed on Tom and you could see the special bond that he has made with each of the animals at the show. To be able to instruct a horse to round up cattle without and reins on the horse and using only clicking sounds of his mouth and subtle movements with his legs were enough for the horse to understand what was required.

You also got a lovely cold icy pole during the show.

Interesting to see how horses are trained and funny enjoyable Dog show and TOMS country singing. Nice afternoon tea.

Such a great show and an insight into Outback life. The staff are so friendly and I particularly love the working dogs. Great new facilities also.

Did the extended Tuesday. Good entertainment, lovely area and show. A Good insight into country out back ranch life.

What a great outing. Tom is a wonderful entertainer. The animals are obviously loved and well treated. We were spoilt with wet towels, cold water and ice blocks before and during the show. After the show was a great selection of cakes, biscuits, tea, coffee and cold drinks

Thoroughly enjoyed this program. I recommend that anyone go to see this Experience. You get to see what they do in the outback. What an experience it was.

We went there on an excursion off the Ghan. It was the best day ever. Very entertaining. You can see how much Tom and the girls love their animals! I still want to take the 5 day old donkey home! It was soooo cute!

Don't miss going to this Experience if you are in the Katherine area. Tom and his team are fantastic at entertaining, but also showing how to train horses and dogs. Tom's musical ability just adds to the atmosphere. We will definitely go again next time we are in the area.

A must see. Great morning. Kids loved all the animals. Great setup. Loved the dogs. Toms Music was amazing

Do not miss this great outingDefinitely recommend the 2.5hr extended show. What they can't do with horses, dogs and guitars isn't worth seeing

Incredible show! Great horsemanship, sigh amazing control of the dogs, friendly staff and an opportunity to play with cute pups at the end!
