If you want to know what life is like on a cattle station in Central Australia, this tour will give you a taste of it. Our guide Imogen provided excellent commentary about the history of Curtin Springs cattle station and how it became a tourist stop before arriving at Uluru national park. The tour will give you access to pastoral leased land that includes a salt lake visit in all its pink glory (you can also take a few lumps of salts with you as a souvenir) and spectacular views of Mt Conner from different sites. Note that you can't actually walk around the base of Mt Conner in this tour. You'll see a few cattle that roam freely in the 1m hectare of pastoral land, flocks of galahs and also learn how cattle is mustered when water is scarce. There's lots of stories along the way about the larrikins and the Severin family who made Curtain Springs their home. The view of Mt Conner from the sunset spot was breathtaking. We had a three-course dinner at Curtain Spring station. Tip: BYO steak knife. You're gonna need it. It was a very enjoyable trip if you have an extra day at Uluru.
