Take a horse drawn wagon ride and a trip back in time; back to the old west to the time of the legendary Texas Longhorns! Situated just 10 km from Charters Towers, North Queensland, is Leahton Park, home of Horseshoe B Longhorns; the largest herd of purebred Texas Longhorns herd in Australia and the latest tourist attraction near Charters Towers. These cattle are direct descendents of the millions of Texas Longhorns that walked in the great trail herds from Texas in the late 1800's.
