Today I am very excited as Gary and I are of to see the outback spectacular.
a large part of central Australia is called the outback. Here people run stations covering thousands of acre. These stations are usually stocked with beef cattle. This area is so dry that very little grows here. In the outback, an unusual culture has developed and this is what the show is about.
We arrive at about 1745 hrs and receive our free cowboy and cowgirl hat. We go to the bar area and enjoy the country band playing there. There are souvenirs to be bought but I hear on the grapevine that video and photography is strictly prohibited during the show just before the door opens for the big event.
The show itself is a dinner show and the meal is delicious. The show is well done and manages to provide people with a true sense of the lifestyle people in the outback lead. If you are ever in Australia and travel to the Gold Coast, I suggest you make the effort to see the Australian Outback Spectacular to have a wonderful night.
Here are some of the events you will see during the show - trick riding, sheep muster and the working dogs. In the Australian outback the working dog of choice is the Short-Haired Border Collie. You will also see barrel -, chook - and camel races, mustering and breaking in of the colts, natural horsemanship, helicopter mustering and much more. The animals you will get to see during the show are horses, Longhorns and St Gertrudis cattle and Merino sheep and that is all I am going to tell you about the Outback Spectacular.
