About this tour
Watch a working outback station come alive during this two-hour show in Katherine, Northern Territory. Tom Curtain, a multi-award-winning musician and horseman, guides you through genuine station life with horse-breaking and working dog demonstrations punctuated by live country music and outback yarns. Expect the unpredictable—dust, energy, and moments that don't go to script—which is precisely what makes it authentic rather than polished.

What to expect
You'll sit in an undercover arena watching actual station work unfold. Horses are brought in and broken in front of you—controlled but genuinely demanding. Working dogs respond to whistles and commands, herding stock with precision. Between demonstrations, Tom performs original songs and shares stories of outback living with wit and personality. The show thrives on its rough edges; things occasionally go sideways, equipment fails, animals decide otherwise. That's the appeal. It's not theatre; it's a snapshot of how stations actually operate, minus the Hollywood choreography.
Good to know
The show runs undercover, so weather won't cancel it. Souvenir photos are available but cost extra. You'll need to arrange your own transport to the venue. Children must stay with an adult. All areas are wheelchair accessible, and prams are welcome for infants.
