FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF EXPLORERS

There is something quite special about standing in a landscape that once stopped explorers in their tracks.

On Boobook Explore’s 'Landscape and Legacy in Roma' day tour, guests follow in the footsteps of Mitchell and Leichhardt to better understand the country they encountered — its grasslands, its natural richness, its history and the way it continues to support life today.

This is one of Boobook Explore’s eco-friendly tours that brings together landscape, story and ecology in a way that feels grounded, thoughtful and deeply connected to place.

Plan ahead and experience Roma through fresh eyes with Boobook Explore. Book online: https://www.boobookexplore.com.au/tours/landscape-and-legacy-in-roma/

Children often notice the things adults walk straight past.

A rustle in the trees. Tracks in the dust. An interesting rock. The changing landscape.

Boobook Explore’s eco-inspired tours create space for that kind of curiosity, giving families a chance to explore, ask questions and connect with the natural world together.

STAY AN EXTRA NIGHT IN ROMA

Roma is more than a place to pull in for the night — it’s a town worth slowing down for.

Stay an extra night and give yourself time to discover the quieter side of Roma: the birdlife, the natural spaces, the local stories and the little details you can easily miss when you’re just passing through.

At Boobook Explore, our small-group experiences are designed to help you connect more deeply with this place and the people, landscapes and stories that shape it.

Join us on our Roma Revelation morning tour on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or take a gentle wander through local birdlife and bushland on our Birdwatching Nature Trail on Monday mornings.

Stay a little longer. Look a little closer. Let Roma surprise you.

Turtle training on country near Roma

It was wonderful to see community, conservation and local knowledge come together for turtle training on a property near Roma, Queensland.

Proudly supported by Origin, Coho and Boobook, the training was delivered by Aquatic Environmental and brought together Gunggari Rangers, Maranoa Wildlife Carers and local community members.

The day formed part of an ongoing research project coordinated by Boobook, helping to better understand the distribution, demographics and conservation needs of turtles in the Maranoa region and critically endangered turtles in the upper Dawson River catchment.

A heartfelt thank you to land custodians Peter and Nikki Thompson for their ongoing support of important projects like this.

We’re proud to play a part in growing local knowledge and supporting the conservation of the remarkable species that call this region home.

Step into the heart of outback Queensland with our Roma Revelation Tour at the iconic Roma Cattle Sale Yards. It’s more than just a visit — it’s a full sensory experience. Hear the rhythmic calls of the auctioneers and the rumble of hooves, see thousands of cattle moving through the yards in a carefully choreographed flow, smell the dust and earth that define cattle country, and feel the energy of sale day as it all unfolds around you.

Enjoy a day with Boobook Explore this season.

One of the nicest things to hear from guests is that they leave seeing the country a little differently.

Not just noticing the views, but understanding a bit more about what is happening around them — why certain plants grow where they do, how birds and animals move through the landscape, how the seasons shape what you see, and how much life is here when you know how to look for it.

That deeper understanding is part of what we love sharing at Boobook Explore, and it is often what stays with people long after the day is over.
