We came across Ross River Resort on the last night of our red centre adventure. We were given a warm country welcoming by Shane before Irish Dennis took us out in the trusty ute on the back tracks of the property, it was fantastic to see off the beaten track with wild horses and foals on the way. Our son... More

I used to work here in 1993, all I can remember is the view of northern territory sunset and sunrise is amazing. If you come to this place, and if there is still available, you have to spend time to dine under the stars, have a hot billy tea and damper in the morning, and learn to whip crack. And... More
