Central Australia Pastoral Bus Tour
Date(s): 25 October – 1 November 2026
Location: Alice Springs and surrounds
Description:
Beginning in Coober Pedy and heading north, the tour will take pastoral owners and workers from the SA Arid Lands region to visit livestock production businesses in Central Australia and meet with like-minded people involved in a range of projects and programs to manage grazing country in a highly variable climatic zone.
Learning from experienced pastoralists, participants will see first-hand how pastoral enterprises are implementing innovative technology and adding value to existing production systems; observe how family-run businesses navigate management challenges like climatic variability and succession; and hear from researchers who have been involved with long-term studies on cattle production, including breeding efficiencies and sustainable grazing management.
