Leahton Park is 10 km from Charters Towers, one of the most iconic and historic towns in Queensland, Australia. This property is 1100 acres in size and is home to Horseshoe B Longhorns; the largest purebred Texas Longhorn cattle herd in Australia and also the longest horned steer in the country whose horns measure over 9 feet from tip to tip. There are several water buffaloes and other native & exotic animals at 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 to see these magnificent & historic animals and to also learn some of the history of the cattle that are the direct descendents of the millions of Texas Longhorns that walked in the great trail herds from Texas in the late 1800's.
Since 2009 the award winning Texas Longhorn Wagon Tours has been operating from Leahton Park & also specializes in coach tours, social group bookings and school excursions
