Visiting Bus Tours

Bus tours travelling the Barkly Highway are warmly invited to make The Drovers Camp a highlight of their journey. We strongly encourage all tour operators to book ahead so their travellers can enjoy a fully guided experience of this unique outback heritage site.

When one of our resident drovers is in camp, visitors are treated to an unforgettable first‑hand recounting of life on the cattle trails — the long days, the great drives, the characters, the challenges, and the humour that shaped the droving tradition. Hearing these stories directly from someone who lived them is a rare privilege and a true outback treasure.

If a drover is not in residence, our knowledgeable volunteers are ready to step in. With advance bookings, they can guide your group through the displays, memorabilia, portraits, and equipment that bring the droving era to life. Guests will see the historic routes that formed the backbone of the great cattle drives, learn how teams worked together across vast distances, and hear stories passed down through generations.

A pre‑booked guided tour ensures your travellers receive the full Drovers Camp experience — rich storytelling, authentic history, and a warm welcome from people who care deeply about preserving this remarkable part of Australia’s heritage.
