Following the Australian Outback Spectacular’s successful launch of Salute to the Light Horse show at the Gold Coast last December, the tourist venture has announced a new partnership with the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre in Longreach.
It means a new World War One centenary museum attraction has been added to the Australian Outback Spectacular to provide guests with an even greater insight into the Anzac journey.
Australian Outback Spectacular general manager, Shane Phillips said it was a fantastic announcement, with both parties sharing a commitment to showcasing an authentic Australian outback experience to domestic and international guests.
“We are proud to partner with such an iconic organization as the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre and look forward to working together with them to provide guests a truly unique experience,” he said.
“The pieces in the WW1 centenary museum have been put together especially for us by curator David Marcel and feature a combination of objects, images and open displays following the fascinating and courageous journey of our Anzacs. It is a touching military tribute that is not to be missed.”
The Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame CEO, Lloyd Mills said he was delighted to have joined forces with the Australian Outback Spectacular who share a common commitment, to showcase an authentic Australian outback experience to domestic and international guests.
“We are thrilled to partner with such a credible and highly respected organization. We were honored to collate a display of WWI pieces for display and so very proud to be able to share this with around 1000 guests each night.”
The Australian Outback Spectacular’s newest show, Salute to the Light Horse commemorates the centenary of the Anzacs, taking guests on a remarkable journey to the snow peaked mountains of the high country as well as bringing to life one of Australia’s most stirring true stories by paying homage to the heroes of the legendary Australian Light Horse.
Salute to the Light Horse is a limited time special and will run only until the 31st October 2017, marking the 100th anniversary of the capture of Beersheeba.
