Outback Queensland – sustainable eco-tourism
Seeking a meaningful escape that treads lightly on the land? Explore a little-known part of Outback Queensland with expert local ecologists who are passionate about conservation, culture, and adventure. Our small group tours are designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising your connection with nature.
Visit welcoming family-run farms that embrace sustainable practices, discover ancient gorges and wide-open plains, and see how people and ecosystems are deeply interconnected in the Sandstone Belt. Encounter native wildlife in their natural habitats—both by day and under the stars—and immerse yourself in the rich environmental and cultural heritage of this remarkable landscape.
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!
