An 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 Picture Show’ – a movie in the open-air riverbank theatre. This exclusive movie was commissioned by the Kinnon family to celebrate the tale of Captain Starlight. Finally, enjoy tea, damper and golden syrup by the campfire under a million stars.

Commentary was excellent on the cruise, the views are great so be sure to take your camera. We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment especially the poetry. From pick up to drop off this is a great experience, would recommend.

Everything about the tour was professionally done. They looked after my wife who was on a Wheely Walker. The cruise was very pleasant. The poetry good. The meal excellent.
Keep it up.

We found the cruise humorously enlightening, the food was very tasty, the yarns and poetry most entertaining, and the movie a good laugh with a bit of history. All up a great night

This was a wonderful experience, starting with a sunset cruise with interesting commentary, but also time for quiet reflection. An added bonus was the send off by a group of turtles!
The campfire dinner was delicious, and they happily catered for dietary requirements.
The poet was great to listen to, and the movie quite entertaining.
One of our group had quite limited mobility, and Lane and his team were just amazing in making provision for that and helping us out.
Lane was hilarious, and the kids are still chuckling at some of his stories!

The goose that followed the boat for food. The sunset. Then the food and show.
Whole experience was well planned.

Fun night starting with bus pickup at Apex Park, followed by leisurely sunset cruise aboard the paddleboat. The meal of hearty stew for the carnivores and a delicious vegie curry for the herbivores. Dietary preferences were well catered. The bus poetry was well done and very professional. All the staff were very friendly. Movie was interesting, although acting medicore. Good story. Fully satiated from the hearty main meal followed by apple slice and custard, I had no room for tea and damper but heard lots of positive comments that it was delicious. Great night.
