Why travel with Boobook Explore?
Looking for something different for your hard-earned break? Come see a part of Outback Queensland few have explored in the company of local ecologists who share your passion for adventure and knowledge. Group sizes are limited to ensure an unforgettable experience.
Visit warm and hospitable locals on their family farms, marvel at impressive gorges and sunny plains and experience first-hand how people and the environment shape each other in the Sandstone Belt.

Boobook Explore’s guides are recognised ecological experts in their ‘patch’, with an unrivalled breadth and depth of knowledge. Our Principal Ecologist, Craig Eddie, has been referred to as the “David Attenborough” of Queensland’s South West. He is a down-to-earth kind of bloke who has written many papers, is a fauna expert (including land snails) and is the author of the popular “Field Guide to Trees and Shrubs of Eastern Queensland Oil and Gas Fields”.
Just as importantly, Boobook Explore’s guides know how to look after you to ensure that your days with us are ones you’ll cherish forever. Be it a short day trip or an extended tour, a bushwalk or an all comforts escape, you can be assured of fun, new friendships and a memory bank chock full of great moments to savour until the next time!
