Experience a day you’ll never forget in an Australian wilderness that time forgot. This small-group tour travels from Roma by 4WD, air-conditioned mini-bus to the privately-owned Wallaroo cattle station covering nearly 300 square kilometres of bush, gorges, rivers and natural diversity deep in the Carnarvon Ranges. You’ll step back in time through millennia as we explore cycad groves, incredible sandstone formations and Indigenous rock art. On short walks from the mini-bus you’ll see wonders few eyes see. Our eco-guide will share fascinating insights and you’ll discover how this land has supported flora, fauna and humanity in harmony for centuries.
