Just an hour’s flight from Brisbane there is a fascinating and diverse region waiting to be explored.
This is where the outback meets brigalow and farming regions, where sandstone ranges conceal rarely seen creatures and Indigenous artworks, where wide rivers meander past historical towns.
Craig and Meryl Eddie are the passionate creators of a range of insightful experiences in Roma, Carnarvon Ranges and beyond. With small groups and an ecological perspective, your guides will reveal the secrets of landscapes, the fauna, the flora and communities of this region. You’ll see through their eyes and be inspired by the diversity, vast spaces and hidden stories.

As passionate about the local community as they are about the ecosystems, the Eddies and their team can speak knowledgeably about the interrelationships between the environment, agriculture and local industry. Craig (sometimes referred to as Queensland’s David Attenborough!) has worked in the region for more than two decades, travelling to little-explored corners and mapping the habitats of flora and fauna. Both he and Meryl also work as consultants, contributing to best-practice environmental standards in managing the land. (For more information about our consulting business, please visit the Boobook Ecological Consulting website.) Whether you have a half-day in Roma or time to delve deeper into the surrounding region, you’ll discover a new world that is rich with the colour of Australian life.
