"We offer a window into the past to a way of life that is now a great part of our cultural heritage, join us and live your dreams" - John Rodney, Pastoral Manager, Home Valley Station.
Home Valley Station welcomes you to make history with us when taking part on the Kimberley Heritage Cattle Drive. Join the Home Valley Station drovers as you herd cattle along the famous Barclay Stock Route that links the West Kimberley from the Canning Stock Route to the Karunjie Track in the North East to the Port of Wyndham. Secure your spot and be ready to mount your horse riding high in your Australian stock saddle for a once in a lifetime experience in the Kimberley outback.
Introducing John Rodney, aka "JR", the boss drover who is responsible for all guests and his team of Drovers. Together JR will instil the importance of having fun and learning throughout the duration of the cattle drive while caring for the entire plan of horses and of course the welfare and well being of the herd of cattle.
This epic journey provides guests with an array of experiences including the immense beauty of the Kimberley landscapes and its natural wonder – from the unique Boab trees and other local flora to the technicoloured birdlife, curious mammals and ancient geological formations. The New York Valley area is a beautiful section of Home Valley Station which, combined with its two Outstations of Durack River Station and Karunjie Station, offers an enormous 3.5 million acres.
With a blanket of stars to gaze upon while drifting off to sleep in your comfy swag, to the sweet smell of spinifex warming in the early morning sunlight, your senses will be heightened by the adventure and excitement of this epic 3 day cattle drive through quintessential Australian outback terrain.
The entire cattle drive itinerary, including transfers from Kununurra, hospitality services, entertainment and overnight accommodation while at each stock camp and back at the Home Valley Station Homestead has been designed to ensure our guests are very well catered for.
