Master Show Man and Top Team - entertaining and informative - just an amazing experience- don’t hesitate to book it ! - Tom Curtain's show is not just a performance; it's a heartwarming, educational, and engaging experience that showcases the beauty of rural life, the deep connection between humans and animals. A master story teller and singer, anyone who can ride a horse whilst signing and playing a guitar is a hero! An interactive and entertaining show - you can tell how talented the team is and how much they care about the animals. Highly recommend.

A wonderful experience - The incredible insights the show provided into the behaviours and responses of the animals to human interactions were fantastic. The level of skill of the team and the animals left us in awe. The show highlighted the care and respect shown between the farmers and animals. A wonderful experience.

Great family outing. - Perfect activity for the kids school holidays. They had a great time watching the show and feeding the animals. It was a hot day and the cool towels and water bought around while we watched were wonderful.

Amazing Outback Experience - It was a great experience watching Tom and his crew, explaining and showing the crowd how they train the horses and dogs. The show is 2hrs long with an intermission in the middle. He brings out animals for you to pat and Tom sings a few of his songs. We both really enjoyed the show ☺️

Fascinating - This is not another corny cowboy show. It is a fascinating and engrossing experience that far exceeded our expectations. This backbone of the business is training muster dogs and breaking horses for outlying cattle stations and Katherine Experience showed us how they do their job. Seats were made comfortable by cushions and we were served cold water at the start of the experience. Toilets were well maintained.

Fantastic experience - An absolute highlight of our trip to the NT. We are an Irish couple in our late twenties living in Sydney and heard about the show online. I would recommend to anyone we know coming to visit the NT. I was a bit nervous about how the animals would be treated, but I needn’t have worried one bit. The trainers were so kind and knowledgeable about their animals. We could have sat there for another two hours easily, which is saying something considering the 36 degree heat! Toilets were immaculate and the addition of water, cold towels and ice lollies were welcome touches. 10/10 experience.

Katherine Outback Experience - Katherine Outback Experience What an amazing place and fabulous show put on by Tom Curtain and his mates. The horsemanship exhibited, the fantastically trained dogs, the horses and a sundry of animals all performed perfectly. I was captivated for 2 hours with entertainment you would pay a lot more for. The knowledge imparted, the inclusion of the audience, the music and lyrics were outstanding. Will highly recommend to anyone visiting the area or just passing through. Do yourselves a favour and don’t miss the Katherine Outback Experience. 10/10

Enjoyed the morning - Really enjoyed , was good to hear how they train and break the horse. The music was an added bonus. Beautiful facilities. Love the special touch of a cool towel and cold water at the start. All people who participate in the show run the facilities. Great for all ages.
