25.01.2022 We met these legends this morning travelling around Australia that dropped in for the show in Katherine. Digby, Harriet and Willow Russell shared a few stories of their travels, helped feed all the animals and stocked up on a few CDs to listen to as they travel around the country! Poor parents!

24.01.2022 Dropped into Casurina Street Primary School this afternoon to talk about being good mates and looking out for each other. We even had time to write a song called Mates and the kids sang their hearts out! Thanks so much for having me and discussing the topic so openly. I think I’m up the back somewhere! . . . #tomcurtain #territorytime #countrymusic #dollysdream #australiancountrymusic #ontour #touring #aussiemusic #ausmusic #australianmusicscene #australian #countrysong #countrysinger #countryartist #countrymusician #guitar #newsingle #newmusic #itunes #spotify #newmusicvideo #newmusicfriday

24.01.2022 They say The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man and I believe these words ring true. This year has been pretty tough on our tourism business but after pivoting into horse lessons, trail rides, a farm therapy program and training more clients horses, we’ve realised how fundamental these horses are in getting everyone through. We’re still learning from them and they keep us grounded but very grateful we can work with them everyday!

23.01.2022 Caught up with the amazing @abbeycholmes today when she dropped into @katherineoutbackexperience for a visit! We had a pretty fun afternoon checking out all the horses, dogs and cute puppies! Thanks so much for coming Abbey!

21.01.2022 We met John and Valerie both 92 Yrs old, married for 71 Yrs, coming through Katherine on the Ghan Train recently. I asked John what was the secret to a Great marriage and he said Do what you’re told They were beautiful people with a great sense of humour and was an honour to meet them both! Congratulations and all the best! . .... . #marriagegoals #dowhatyouretold #katherineoutbackexperience #journeybeyond #ghantrain #visitkatherine #dothent #katherinent See more

21.01.2022 Had a great few days out at VRD (Victoria Rover Downs Stn) running a horsemanship clinic for the Heytesbury Cattle Co Ringers. It was awesome to witness the progress of riders and horses over three big days. Looking forward seeing you in action in the Campdraft arena! #tomcurtainofficial #horsetraining #victoriariverdowns #heytesburycattleco #heytesburypastoral #prydeseasifeed #tpmsaddles #stationlife #horselove #ringersfromthetopend #beachportliquidminerals

20.01.2022 We haven’t seen these 2 legends since January because of Covid and we’re all set to catchup in a few weeks time fingers crossed. A big shout out to the other Mums and Dads missing their kids, my heart goes out to you guys!

18.01.2022 Day out at the Katherine races with the girl, awesome afternoon! A massive congratulations to everyone behind the scenes as well for running such a cracking event! @annabelcurtain @visitkatherine #katherinent #dothent

18.01.2022 Thanks for having us Brett and Michelle and all the Crew from Jennacubbine it was an amazing night! The community out there was phenomenal and the steak was the best yet! Thank you!

17.01.2022 Catching up with Jack and Milton Jones with their mother Cristina dropping another batch of horses in to be started under saddle. We received about 15 ml of rain a few nights back and the humidity is starting to climb! Have an awesome weekend!

17.01.2022 Happy birthday Harry, turning 1 today! He received a horse ride and played with some pups which he absolutely loved and a little cake tonight that Dad might love!

17.01.2022 Sweating up a storm here fencing in a sizzling NT afternoon. The humidity is a rising here and there is a few more fluffy clouds getting about- hope you’re all having a cracker of a Monday!

17.01.2022 We ran a hands on horse training session for kids recently, where they got up close and personal with our horses. Not only was it fun and informative but the connection between the kids and the horses was quite amazing. To see the kids come out of their shell and build confidence around these great animals made it all worthwhile. Here @breanna_jayne_horsemanship is leading the way and doing a cracking job!

15.01.2022 Here it is guys - the official Music Video Clip to my latest single 'In The West! About the song and clip: ‘In The West’ is the third single to be released from Tom Curtain’s fourth studio album, ‘We’re Still Here’ which climbed to No.1 on the Australian iTunes Country Music Charts. ... ‘In The West’ paints a vivid picture of life on the land, the people, lifestyle, landscapes and experiences. Tom has always lived on the land; from growing up on a mixed beef cattle and cropping farm near Kingaroy, Queensland, to working in the stock-camp on a remote Northern Territory cattle station, followed by years of moving from station-to-station training young horses, and now settling on the outskirts of Katherine, Northern Territory where he owns and operates the national award winning Tourist Attraction ‘Katherine Outback Experience'. Tom wanted this song to celebrate all those things he loves about living on the land. Co-written and produced by Garth Porter, Tom says In The West is a salute to the people out here who have been working and battling for years but are still so grateful and appreciative of the life they lead. This one’s for you! Available to purchase now on iTunes, Apple Music and other digital platforms. Search ‘Tom Curtain In The West’. More information available at www.tomcurtain.com.au.

15.01.2022 Well we’ve been pretty busy running horsemanship schools in Darwin and out on Victoria River Downs VRD station about 400km south of Katherine NT over the last week. I was training horses on VRD about 2004 so it’s been amazing to get back out here, work with the Ringers and soak up station life again - so good for the soul!

14.01.2022 This Girl! If you told me I would meet my wife hitchhiking, where her father would pick me up and take me back to his farm and later introduce me to his daughter, Annabel, I’d say you were dreaming! It turned out to be so true we wrote a song about it called Hitchhiker. So very grateful - I couldn’t do what we are doing without her, she’s my best mate, works her heart out and makes me laugh like no one can! Thanks so much Belsie, Love ya’ to the moon and back!

14.01.2022 These guys just rocked into town for the music show tomorrow night here at @katherineoutbackexperience @chrismatthewsmusic and @jimmymcgrathmusic will be belting the tunes out along with a few from myself and the great Neil Murray to cap the night off! The show starts at 7 pm so come on down for an awesome night of music with @mentalmateskatherine running the BBQ. . . .... #mentalmates #chrismatthewsmusic #jimmymcgrathmusic #tomcurtainofficial #neilmurray #katherineoutbackexperience #countrymusic #visitkatherine #livemusic #characters See more

13.01.2022 Fluffy, one of the most happiest, energetic and responsive dogs we have in training here. He is usually so well behaved that his nickname is The Gentleman.

13.01.2022 Big shout out to Dan and Lachie McInnerney from Morwhena out near Mitchell QLD, wearing their We’re Still Here hats! They are on a 14000 acre property running feeder cattle and have had about 300mm of rain since Christmas. Great work fellas and love the photo! $10 from every hat goes to drought angles and are available through our website www.tomcurtain.com.au . . .... . #werestillhere #droughtangels #droughtangelsfundraiser #farmer #aussiesofinstagram #supportingaussiefarmers #supportruralremote #farmersofinstagram #tomcurtainofficial See more

11.01.2022 What a way to finally kick off the NT Tourist Season! My Team and I were invited to perform at a surprise 50th birthday in Darwin at an amazing venue. It’s been 3 months since the tour finished. I haven’t done any shows since due to COVID. The horses and dogs loved getting back to what they do best and certainly haven’t forgotten their roles! It was a bonus to get our and meet so many great people! ... Tomorrow is the first official Katherine Outback Experience show back in Katherine in 7 months and it’s full! What a way to finally kick things off again! Special thanks to Lennie and Tamra from Discovery One Kimberley Cruises for helping us out in Darwin (check out our Katherine Outback Experience page for a video we took from their amazing boat today) as well as our crew back in Katherine who have worked overtime (many volunteering their time) to get everything ready for tomorrow’s show. Can’t thank you enough and looking forward to getting back into it! . . #katherineoutbackexperience #tomcurtain

11.01.2022 We have our second show for the year this Saturday afternoon here in Katherine and the dogs are jumping out of their skin with excitement!

11.01.2022 Thanks so much for all the support out there for our latest song In The West. Really appreciate the love and feedback for the upcoming In The West Tour of WA and SA. We love performing in remote communities as well as the big towns, so if you have a town you think we should visit, sing out as we are just finalising now! Will be touring East Coast 2021, thanks heaps!

10.01.2022 Well we’ve been working on a new video clip, in between training horses, riding lessons and @katherineoutbackexperience shows which have just started up again. So will keep you all posted on the progress and how it pans out. Thanks for the support out there! #werestillhere

10.01.2022 Wow very grateful to be nominated for the Tamworth Country Music Golden Guitars for the song dedicated to Joy McKean - She Gave Us The Song. Massive thanks to Lee Kernaghan and Sara Storer for singing the song with us, Garth Porter for producing and co writing with Kelly Dixon. Congratulations to all artists and our publicist Bec Gracie! @countryjourno @cmaaofficial

09.01.2022 Whenever little Harry and @tickeverett catch up, they always get into mischief! Here’s a little snippet of the pair messing about that will bring a smile to your face today. Have a cracker everyone!

08.01.2022 Very grateful we still get to run about 4 shows per week up here in the NT and sing a few songs as we go! It’s been a rough year alright and we have had to diversify into horse riding lessons, horsemanship schools and experiences and dog training to keep our heads above water but We’re Still Here which is the main thing! A shout out to all the people down south in tougher times, thinking of you guys!

08.01.2022 This is my favourite tree on our place. In the early morning you can see the black cockatoos sitting up high in her branches as the sunlight hits her trunk and throughout the day there’s Galahs, Rainbow Honeyeaters, Kite Hawks and many others chilling out up there. She also provides great shade to pull up for a few minutes to give the horse I’m training time to catch their breath- and mine! So in a recent photo shoot when old mate asked me to look at that big tree over there, I said No worries at all I think sometimes the best things are in your own back yard!

08.01.2022 It’s been a while since we have had a photo together. We have both been run off our feet and usually it’s the other one behind the camera but I took the opportunity for a quick snap between digging out trenches to lay more sprinklers. We have been busy - really busy and have some exciting news to announce over the coming weeks and months! The most exciting is the fact there is another baby on the way very soon!

07.01.2022 Well it’s been one heck of a year so far but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve had to start young horses for the cattle stations, run horsemanship schools and start up horse riding lessons for locals here in Katherine just to make ends meet. If there’s anything positive to come out of this whole Covid dilemma, its the pushing us out of our comfort zone. Its really made us think outside the box and work harder than ever. So here’s to everyone giving it a crack out there, it’s tough going but we’ve got each other and we’re going to get through!

07.01.2022 G'Day Guys! Just letting you know my new single 'In The West' has been released today! It's one of my favourite songs from my 'We're Still Here' Album and was co-written with Garth Porter. Its upbeat and paints a great picture of life on the land and all those things we love about living and working out here!... You can download it from all the usual platforms or request your local radio to give it a whirl. If your local station hasn't got it, let me know and I will send it through. Looking forward to showing you the music video clip very soon! As always, a big thanks to everyone involved in the making, filming and promoting of my music together with all you out there who download my songs/ albums, purchase it through my online shop, request airplay and support live music! You guys make it all possible and it means the world! Thanks heaps and let me know what you think!

07.01.2022 Taking 5 minutes out of our day to catch up with this little fella in the horse arena- and he had a lot to say! Very grateful - Harry Hugo. . Photo - @courtney_louise_photography_

04.01.2022 So very grateful we can continue to run our outback shows up here during the dry season. We had an awesome one this afternoon where we met these legends @6.little.wildflowers who were from a property down near Broken Hill, travelling through the NT. Thanks so much for coming guys and safe travels- beautiful family! #katherineoutbackexperience #holidayherethisyear

03.01.2022 Note to self- Don’t give a teething baby a puppy

02.01.2022 Harry getting excited about having a crack at the Campdraft on the weekend! A few years off yet but pretty keen so far! . . . #campdrafting #campdraft #bushkids #bushkidslife #horsesofinstagram #katherineashdraft

02.01.2022 Haven’t had a date night for a while, so we made the most of it with @darwinharbourcruises, it was phenomenal! If you ever get the chance, jump on a cruise and checkout the scenery, it was awesome!

01.01.2022 Sweatin’ it out in the Territory Sun!
