It’s mustering season at Wrotham Park Lodge

Saddle up and strap yourself in for the ride of a lifetime! The cattle muster has started at Wrotham Park Lodge, Queensland’s most luxurious outback cattle station property.

But be quick! Wrotham Park Lodge will be closing its doors at the end of October and will not be reopening, leaving you with a limited amount of time to enjoy this quintessential Australian outback property.

Located in a spectacular setting, 300km west of Cairns, Wrotham Park Lodge encompasses the spirit of the Australian outback combined with a unique, luxury resort experience. Encompassing 600,000 hectares of land with around 70,000 head of cattle, mustering on Wrotham Park Station takes place until the end of the season, October 31st 2009.

Departing in the morning, guests will be taken to the centre of the mustering action on the station. Joining the stockmen and women on horseback guests will share the excitement of rounding up the herds of Brahman stock.

Cattle mustering is tailored to each guest and the level of involvement they’d like to have in a real life muster. Alternatively guests can witness all the excitement and action around the stock yards with half-day cattle station tours, horse rides and 4WD adventures.

Guests can also join Wrotham Park Lodge's chefs for a demonstration of cooking traditional country recipes with the freshest of ingredients, much like the region's ancestors who cooked vegetables plucked directly from the veggie patch, and fresh cuts of meat straight from the cattle station. Become an outback Master Chef and learn how to make the old Aussie favourites and master cooking techniques over hot coals.

Anna Guillan, Voyages Hotels & Resorts Executive General Manager Sales and Marketing, said: “Mustering season is an exciting time to visit Wrotham Park Lodge. Guests get a real feel for cattle station life and the rugged beauty of the Australian outback, and together with luxury accommodation and sumptuous country cuisine and premium beverages, guests can witness it all in style and comfort.”
