Texas Longhorn Tours

Leahton Park is just 10 km by sealed road from Charters Towers, one of the most iconic and historic towns in Queensland. This family owned property is 1100 acres in size and is home to Horseshoe B Longhorns; one of the largest full blood Texas Longhorn cattle herds in Australia and home of the 2013 Guinness World Record horned steer whose horns measure over 10 feet 4 1/2 inches or 3.15 metres from tip to tip! Since 2009 the award winning Texas Longhorn Tours has been operating from Leahton Park. This is a unique tourist attraction and the only place in Australia where guests get the opportunity to take a canvas covered horse drawn wagon ride or Safari to see these magnificent & historic animals and to also learn some of the history of our cattle that are the direct descendants of the millions of Texas Longhorns that walked in the great trail herds from Texas in the late 1800's. Also on display are American Bison, Asian Water Buffalo, Scottish Highland, Indian Gyr cattle, the huge horned African Ankole Watusi and absolutlely stunning Sardo Negro from Mexico

An important part of the Texas Longhorn Wagon Tour experience is the traditional Aussie Smoko under the shade trees at the homestead that features fresh brewed billy tea or coffee, not to mention the other delicacies that are served all from the back of the genuine ‘Made in Texas’ Chuck Wagon. To cap it all off guests also get to take a tour of the brand new and unique JR Gallery of Horns, there is also a great gift shop. All experiences include a tour of the cattle working facilities and the ‘Longhorn Love Shack”

Texas Longhorn Tours also specializes in coach tour and social group bookings and also school excursions. There is easy coach access and thanks to the sealed road to our property all weather access is guaranteed. We can customize to suit any of your group requirements including lunches in our old time dining shed. Texas Longhorn Tours generally run from early May until the early October.
