1Experience the ultimate dinner with our sunset rail journey and Smithy's Outback Dinner & Show. Indulge in canapes, enjoy a drink, and a delicious two-course dinner with live entertainment to conclude your night. This ultimate dinner experience starts with the late afternoon Silver-Tails Sunset rail experience where you watch the sun set over the floodplains, whilst savouring signature canapes, enjoying a drink, and quality Outback Hospitality on our heritage Rail Motor. For dinner we connect you with our incredible Smithy’s Outback Dinner & Show experience under the stars. Enjoy a delicious two-course camp oven themed dinner, followed up with freshly baked damper and billy tea. A good selection of wine, cold beer, soft drinks and select pre-mixes is available for purchase from our licensed bar. Live on stage our talented outback performer will entertain you with their songs and stories. This night out will be a highlight of your Outback holiday.
2Enjoy the Stonegrill® Dining Experience in the atmospheric outback surroundings of 'The Welcome Home'. Situated at the heritage end of Eagle Street, Longreach, The Welcome Home is like stepping back in time and is always a sociable and relaxed occasion. Early settlers often cooked their meat on a hot stone in a camp-fire and the Stonegrill® Dining Experience brings this concept inside with extras that would have been a feast for a pioneer! Cook your meat (or fish) on a hot volcanic stone at the table, then add your choice of side dishes and sauces. Main course is followed by a chance to sample a range of traditional homestead desserts at the delicious, all-you-can-eat dessert and lolly bar.
3Our Country Classics menu takes inspiration from homestead kitchens and Country Women’s Association favourites. Enjoy a delicious main course and all-you-can-eat desserts for an inclusive price! Dine in the heritage surrounds of The Welcome Home on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

5An evening of outback tradition and legend. Cruise down the splendid Thomson River at sunset on one of our heritage boats. Watch the birds come home to roost on the riverbanks and learn about the local flora, fauna and history. (Nibbles provided, BYO alcohol) As darkness falls, the boat moors at Outback Pioneers' river camp for a 2-course stockman’s dinner around the campfire. Our bush poet charms the crowd. After dinner watch the ‘Starlight’s Spectacular Sound & Light Show’ – a movie in the open-air riverbank theatre. The Kinnon family commissioned this exclusive movie to celebrate the tale of Captain Starlight. Finally, enjoy tea, damper and golden syrup by the campfire under a million stars.

7The colours of the outback come alive at sunset as you glide down the Thomson River aboard the M.V. Longreach Explorer. After a warm welcome by our experienced crew, take your seat on the top deck ready to capture 360-degree sweeping, river and floodplain views. Our Captain will enthral you with captivating stories about the river, its wildlife and Indigenous heritage. Enjoy complimentary nibbles on board, and purchase icy cold drinks from our licensed bar. Photo opportunities are endless, but our stop at Sunset Bend is a hands-down favourite.
