Observing and learning about Australia’s native flora and fauna in its natural environment with ecological experts is a rare opportunity and one not to be missed. BOOBOOK’s skilled and experienced ecologists are your tour guides and they will show you the real side of Australia’s natural ecosystem, including hidden and cryptic creatures, amazing rock formations, unique Aboriginal art, Australian native wildlife and plants, inland streams and gorges. Our form of sustainable ecotourism has been developed to ensure that you see Outback Queensland the way it was intended. Your tour experience is important to us but so is maintaining the pristine quality and untouched landscape of our backyard.
Take this opportunity to see parts of Outback Queensland that very few people have had the opportunity of seeing. Your exclusive access to thousands of acres of private property is only a stone’s throw away from BOOBOOK’s headquarters, located in the township of Roma in Southwest Queensland. Roma itself is an hour flight or easy six hour drive from Brisbane. Our commitment to ecological preservation and sustainable tourism affords us access to private properties that are usually off limits to tourists. You’ll have access to some of the most stunning vistas and perfectly Australian panoramas off the beaten path.
Join the Australian Tourism Industry by experiencing Australia’s outback in its pristine, natural and uninterrupted state with BOOBOOK ecotours. Your tour with BOOBOOK won’t be overloaded with tourists, as we keep our groups small to ensure plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere, explore and ask questions of our guides. Environmental preservation and sustainable ecotourism are critical elements of our ethos. Your visit in Outback Queensland should be an authentic, natural, awe-inspiring experience and we intend to keep it that way for future generations.
