Pack Mule Adventure
Ride Your Horse Through History
Travel the traditional way. Pack light. Ride far. Create memories that last a lifetime.
There is something magical about travelling through the Yarra Ranges High Country with only your horse, good company and the steady rhythm of a working pack team leading the way.
This isn’t just another trail ride—it’s a true expedition.
For six unforgettable days you’ll ride your own horse through spectacular mountain country, following sections of the historic National Trail. Travel along winding bush tracks beneath towering Mountain Ash forests, across crystal-clear streams and through landscapes rich in Australian history.
Listen to the gentle tinkle of hobble chains, the familiar creak of leather and the confident footsteps of our experienced pack mule teams as they carry everything needed for life on the trail.
This is pack saddling at its finest.
An Authentic High Country Experience
Your luggage, camping equipment, supplies and delicious camp meals are all transported the traditional way by our highly trained pack horses and pack mules, allowing you to experience the mountains just as Australia’s early stockmen once did.
Our experienced team will show you the traditional skills of pack saddling while sharing the history, stories and practical knowledge that have kept these journeys alive for generations.
Whether you’re an experienced trail rider or simply looking for the adventure of a lifetime, you’ll become part of a genuine working pack expedition.
Life on the Trail
Each day brings new scenery, fresh mountain air and unforgettable riding.
Ride through towering forests and secluded valleys as you discover the beauty of Victoria’s High Country from horseback.
