Swamp’s North East look about trek - 5 day and 4 nights of North East trekking through local farmland and Victoria’s North East wine region.

For those who have ridden with Swamp over the years, he needs no introduction. Russell “Swamp” Ellis has helped on our treks since 2010 when we began our rides in Tolmie. Swamp loves nothing better that heading out on the trail, strumming the guitar around the campfire and having a yarn!

Our adventure will include time spent with Steve and Heidi Crowe at their stunning Auldstone Farm property which is in the heart of the North East wine region, just outside Glenrowan, the home of Ned Kelly. Steve Crowe has a reputation for his performance horse training and kind approach to teaching horsemanship. Here we will spend time riding and enjoying some personalised horsemanship with Steve himself, riding out amongst the base of the Warby Range and local wineries. Of a night, we will enjoy local produce and wines along with gourmet style meals around the open fire.

On arrival to the Ellis family property Swamp will give you a horseback guided tour of the farm, including meeting his homebred mountain horses that once old enough join our trekking team. Heading through the Mokoan Range, Swamps family property ‘Pentown’ a sheep, cattle and cropping farm is nestled in the back hills of Chesney Vale.

Your North East Victoria adventure will come to an end after one last morning in the saddle and a hearty lunch on Friday.
