Mt Mee Restaurant Ride

We Ride out round 1 p.m. from our beautiful 1000 acre working cattle property at Ocean View (Near Dayboro and close to Brisbane, Queensland)
The ride passes round the front of the range with spectacular views from Stradbroke Island to Malaneny(Glass house Mountains) and the Sunshine coast for most of the ride, crossing several creeks on the way.
We arrive at Birches Restaurant (formerly Munchkins) just in time for a sunset drink (or two), as we unsaddle, feed and paddock our horses. Birches Restaurant is as good as you would find anywhere in the world. After dinner we are transported back to the farm for drinks around the fire and a well earned nights sleep.


After breakfast (b.y.o) on the Sunday we head back to our horses to saddle up and head out for the return ride via a different route. This takes us down through a spectacular rain forest gorge, where we stop for a 'smoko'. We then ride across the mountain to Ocean View Estates Winery for their wine tasting and cheese platter and lunch if one wishes. Our ride from here back to the farm takes us round the west side of the Ocean View plateau with postcard views out over the D'Aguilar Ranges, Dayboro Valley, Lake Samsonvale and Brisbane itself.
We should arrive back at 190 Ocean View Road mid afternoon.

Ride through some of Queenslands most scenic riding country, taking in spectacular views of Moreton Bay and the Glass House mountains, on your way to the Oceanview Estates winery.





Here the horses have their own hitching rail and can relax after the rigors of the outward journey.


For us humans it is a chance to relax, enjoy a tasting of the Oceanview Estates excellent range of wines, purchase your favourite(s) from the cellar door and gain an insight into the wine making process. At the same time you can indulge in a light lunch, a glass of wine, and coffee.
Feeling suitably refreshed it is back on your horse for the return trip by a slightly shorter but no less scenic route. Here your purchases from the winery will be waiting for you.
If you wish, we can arrange an overnight stay for you on our cattle property, either in the main house or in our dormitory style accommodation.

Farm Stays.

"Farm Stays" can be for any number of nights from 1 to 7. (longer if you wish) These rides are based just north of Brisbane and offer some of the most spectacular views of Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast one could wish for.


The ride starts on our home base at Dunlop Lane, Kurwongbah, Queensland, about 25km north of Brisbane. and on the first day takes us along old droving trails, logging tracks, and pack horse routes to the top of the ranges overlooking Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast. Here we stay the night at the homestead on our 900 acre cattle property, "Rangetop"

On the second day we ride for four to five hours on this property and explore areas of pristine rain forest, rolling hill sides and wooded areas, even deep gorges where if there has been recent rains the water foams over large boulders and waterfalls ending in hidden quiet waterholes often with the opportunity of a relaxing swim.
The third day we make our way across country to explore many other areas of the Mt.Mee ranges getting excellent views of the Glass House Mountains on the way If the ride is a four or five day ride then we would camp at a permament campsite we have on another of our Mt Mee properties. At both sites we would spend a relaxing evening around a campfire and a enjoy few drinks.

The rides can finish at the "Rangetop" Ocean View, or on the last day we can return to our main Riding Centre at Kurwongbah. The feature of these rides is that it is possible to tailor the ride to suit the riders, as we are able to start and finish the rides at any of our properties covering some 3,500 acres. The cost of the ride includes the transport of your personal belongs from Dunlop lane to the overnight stops.
