Tales of the Trail

Around Australia on Horseback

Join us on our epic journey

The Ranch is sold, all belongings are packed up, everything that's needed loaded into the truck and now the journey has started. Erwin is taking his horses Tonto and Giles on a long ride around Australia with Monique and co-pilot Olly, the dog, as support crew in their Hino horse truck.

The route will take them from Manjimup, Western Australia, towards Albany and Esperance as the first stage. From here they prepare to cross the Nullabor and into SA. Then the plan is to follow the National Trail up the East coast. Around the top and back home to WA. Horse trekking at it's best!

It's day 2 and I have a complete meltdown. "I can't do this! I want to quit, go and find a new truck driver."
