THINGS TO DO & SEE
in The Towers
Operating from early May until October each year, Texas Longhorn Tours, situated at the property Leahton Park is one of the most unique attractions in Australia.
You've heard that "Everything is bigger in Texas" - do a Texas Longhorn Tour and you'll see that sometimes "Things are BIGGER in Queensland"! This is an opportunity to see how magnificent these huge horned animals are up close.
The tours offer an opportunity to see and learn the history and significance of these magnificent animals. Many steers have horns spanning more than 100 inches tip-to-tip and JR, who was a former Guinness World Record Holder, is on display with horns exceeding 10 feet 4 inches or 3.15m!
School and group experiences can also be catered for, and the venue is also available to hire for weddings and functions, providing a unique setting for your guests.

Mick & Lynda
Michael ‘Mick’ & Lynda Bethel moved to Charters Towers in 1998 - they liked the feel of the area and in particular, Leahton Park.
They have spent all of their lives raising cattle and operating their custom saddlery business. They had a herd of Texas Longhorn cattle and were inspired to share their knowledge and in 2009 Texas Longhorn Wagon Tours & Safaris was opened.
Mick and Lynda started Texas Longhorn Tours with a couple of horses and a wagon they made themselves, adding the Safaris a few years later.
Mick and Lynda say that talking to the people who visit Leahton Park is the best part of what they do. "We love sharing what we do with visitors from all over Australia and overseas as well."
When they get spare time, they're working on the property and in the saddle shop. They also try to visit their two daughters who live away and spend some time with their young grandchildren.
