Katherine Outback Experience

Katherine Outback Experience Katherine Outback Experience provides authentic and unique insight into the training of stockhorses and working dogs for Northern Territory cattle stations

Tom Curtain began his horse training and music career in the Northern Territory in 2001, working first in the stock camp at Heyetsbury Beef’s Mt Sanford Station. Here he worked with the station horse breaker and musician Martin Oakes, who recognised his penchant for all things musical and encouraged him to pick up a guitar and begin writing songs about his experience in the Territory. This humble

beginning led to the release of the award winning album ‘Smack Bang!’, the title song from which stayed at the top of the Australian Country Music Charts for several weeks. During this time Tom decided to go out on his own, contract breaking throughout the Territory in order to continue his love of working with horses and the pastoral industry while being able to continue his song writing and singing. In 2005 Tom met his wife Skye at the Daly Waters Campdraft and Rodeo and shortly after moved to Kingaroy, Queensland to further his music career and establish a horse training business on his property. After touring extensively throughout Australia with Sara Storer, the Sunny Cowgirls and other leading Australian Country Music Artists and releasing his second album ‘Heatwave’, Tom focussed on building his horse training business with his young family. It was only a matter of time before the Northern Territory lured him and his family back to Katherine where he continues to train horses and break horses in for the pastoral sector. While he spends time between both his NT and Qld horse training businesses, his love of the Territory provides great inspiration for him both as a singer/songwriter and horse trainer.
