Kelly's Ranch was founded and is operated by Jerry Kelly, a local (Warumungu) Aboriginal, who was born at Alroy Downs Station in the Barkly Region, Northern Territory, and is a Traditional Aboriginal Owner from the region.

He grew up in the Barkly Region and spent his youth working on cattle Stations learning his skills from traditional, older aboriginal stockmen and has worked on cattle stations in both the Barkly Region of the Northern Territory and the Camooweal Region of Queensland, and has since spent many years working on cattle stations around the regions.

Jerry is very passionate about outback life and the pastoral industry. He loves to teach horse-riding skills and pass on his knowledge and experience of cattle stations to others and believes in providing his visitors with a unique experience and understanding of his traditional culture, the stockman’s life and life in the bush.

He has also spent many years teaching horse riding skills and taking people on bush tucker trail rides in the local region and has been very successful in training local indigenous youth in horse and cattle handling skills so that they can get employment on cattle stations in the Northern Territory.

Jerry loves teaching horse riding skills and sharing sharing stories about the old days and a stockman’s life, where to find bush tucker, and loves getting to know his guests over a cup of billy tea and damper cooked on an open fire.

So we invite you to come to Kelly's Ranch and take the opportunity to experience a true outback horse riding adventure like no other.
