This flexible 2-night holiday is your own outback adventure with access to the wonders of Wallaroo in the Carvarvons that few tourists see.
Join us for a Roma Revelation half-day then pack up your vehicle with self-catering supplies for a stay in the remote and unspoilt Australian bush. At Wallaroo Outback Retreat (1.75 hours drive from Roma), you’ll enjoy glamping comfort immersed deep in an ancient landscape rich with flora, fauna and Aboriginal rock art.
Wake up with the birds and animals of the bush and then step aboard our 4WD vehicle for our Lost World Carnarvons (Wallaroo) small-group experience. Our expert guide will reveal the secrets of this vast private property where breathtaking sandstone rock formations and Aboriginal heritage give way to cycad groves and panoramic views of the Arcadia Valley.
Day and evening, this area is a haven for wildlife. Our guide will show you what to look out for and will explain the web of biodiversity here. Keep your eyes open for kangaroos and wallabies, emus, birdlife and many rare creatures that find refuge here.
After another evening around the firepit under the stars and a night in your luxurious tent, you can continue your independent adventure or add further nights at Wallaroo for your own private retreat away from the crowds.
