Carinya Station – Out the Back Tours

Beyond the Gate – Smoko Edition

Guided tour experience for visitors to Lightning Ridge

This isn’t just a tour. This is Carinya.

Join us for your front row seat to life on the land, the real, raw and unforgettable side of Carinya Station, Lightning Ridge.

You’ll be welcomed with a cuppa and a friendly chat. Meet the owners: Jacinda and Joe, your hosts, for a warm induction. Guests often say it’s our hospitality, ‘like catching up with old mates’, that makes the biggest impression, and the tour begins the moment you arrive.

Then, hop into The Boss’s Ride and venture into the vast paddocks. From sandhills to black soil plains, every part of Carinya has a story. Some days we’re checking the tanks as cattle come in for water. Other days it’s goats grazing near the timber line or crops greening in the paddock after rain. No two days are the same, no two seasons either - often dry, yet the land endures.

Observe our livestock grazing naturally in the paddock and pull up to chat and discuss the crops. Learn how and why we farm this way, from cattle and goats to listening to the land. Spot wildlife, birds, and soak in big sky yarns. Share real conversations and forge connections.

Pull up in the paddock to kick back, share a yarn, and simply be. Savoring a cool drink and homemade treats before heading back to the homestead.
