Catninga is a small working cattle and horse property and Brain and Heather are committed to regenerating the land and sharing this beautiful part of Australia. 

All horse will require front boots or shoes, route & duration of the Saturday ride (Mt Brown) will be decided on the day.

Horses – BYO everything. Drinking water for horses is available.  Various sheep yards (large & small) are available but it is recommended that you bring electric fencing to keep spaces between yards or split up yards as necessary. 

People - BYO everything you need for you and your horse. Unpowered camping, close to the yards $20 / night / person. (add $5/night for power). Wood for campfire included in camp fees & toilet & showers close by. Plus the shearing shed to gather in if it is wet.

Directions – Catninga is ~ 3½ hours from Gawler via Pt Wakefield or Clare (~290k). Just before Port Augusta turn right towards Stirling North, then take first road to the right. After crossing the railway line it is 6kms to a set of old cattle yards where you turn left to Catninga. Club signs should be up. Then follow this road (now dirt) towards the hills for 9 kms and you will have arrived at Catninga homestead. Go past the house to the shearing shed behind. Alternately turn toward Horrocks Pass & turn into Spear Creek road. Go 12 kms to the cattle yards and turn right towards the hills and Catninga.
