Well worth it - One of the best talks I have been to in years. Gives you a real feel for what it’s like to live on the land, both now and in the distant past. Shearing shed talk was up first and then an open top bus tour of the farm with a lunch set amount the trees. Just a great morning out.

A great tour for all ages - A great look into life on an outback station in Longreach. Jeremy is an amazing tour guide giving us an onsite into his life on the land. A fantastic tour and an extremely yummy smoko. Jeremy even gives you tips on cooking different cuts of meats and lets you know where you can get good quality merino clothing, cook books and stuff. Where else but his mum’s store in town.

Must do NOGO Station - Massive property, terrific and entertaining explanation on the workings on the station. Double decker bus with audio headphones, viewing goats, donkeys, emus, cattle and sheep plus a few wild pigs. Lunch included a tasty and fresh roast beef sandwich, apple cake and tea. Great insight into the daily life of a shearer.

Amazing! - Amazing insight into the running of a sheep station. Our guide was very down to earth and entertaining. The double decker open air bus ride through the station was amazing, we saw so much wildlife along the way. To end the visit we sat down to a delicious packed lunch and cuppa. Highly recommend!

Nogo Experience, Definitely Yes Go! - Right from the pick-up it was interesting to hear the stories of the outback. We got a history of the town and landmarks were identified on the way to Nogo Station. I was not expecting the lunch pail and billy tea, which was great! I would definitely recommend taking this tour. You just can't get all that history wandering on your own, definitely the local input is worth it!

NOGO - YESGO - We were picked up by our bus driver Duncan who gave us a very informative tour of Longreach. At the station we were given a very comical and excellent story of Nogo by Jeremy and his side kick Banjo followed by an open top bus tour of the property and saddlebag lunch.
What a great experience and a must do in Longreach.

Great time at Nogo - We really enjoyed the whole experience. It was good to be picked up from the hotel by coach, taken to the Nogo station, and taken back at the end of the morning. The commentary by the driver was informative and entertaining.
The trip on the bus was great. We saw lots of wildlife. The lunch was enjoyable. It was great to see the dog bring a flock of sheep into the shearing shed. Listening to Jeremy telling stories about life on a shearing station was interesting and very entertaining. It was well worth the money

Life on a sheep station - Experiencing a sheep station was eye opening. We learnt about the intricate skill and knowledge required in sheep grading, shearing, the importance of all the rolls in the shearing shed. Riding in the open air bus across the paddocks was great. Saw, goats, pigs, birds, kangaroos, emus, camels, donkeys - a relative menagerie! Was a great day out - exhilarating. Won't be able to look at wool the same again without due respect for those behind it - all of them!

Great for kids - Out of the three activities we did in Longreach, this was by far the best. Jeremy was a great presenter of the history of shearing, some of the historical tensions and making it accessible to young and old alike. The kids loved seeing the animals and particularly liked the open top bus ride around the paddocks. The beginning of the trip with a quick recent history of Longreach was also good, and both hosts refrained from mysogynistic jokes that seemed to be par for the course elsewhere in town.
