Arriving at Archerfield at 1:30 pm, we meet as a group at the Archerfield historic passenger terminal and have a quick safety presentation. In no time at all, we have everyone aboard the aircraft and are on the way to your weekend destination of Wallaroo Station. Have your cameras ready for the scenery of the Arcadia Valley and the cliffs of the Carnarvon Range.

The station of Wallaroo is located 270 nautical miles as the bird flies from Archerfield. If driving that would be more than 10 hours by road! Located on the escarpment overlooking the Arcadia Valley the flight in is breathtaking as you fly over vertical cliffs. The station covers 73,000 hectares in size and you will discover it has some amazing scenery.
On arrival we meet our hosts from Wallaroo and your Boobook tour guides for the next couple of days. Our first stop at Wallaroo is The Axe Factory and an introduction to Aboriginal life in the area. We enjoy a welcome drink overlooking the Sphinx and later return to our accommodation for a sumptuous dinner. After dinner you can choose to join in a spotlight walk to view local wildlife or just chill around the camp fire and let the sounds of the bush settle around you.
Early start today as we head to Carnarvon Gorge. You had an aerial taste of the cliffs yesterday on your arrival into Wallaroo. Today you see more of the rugged Carnarvon Ranges of Queensland's central highlands, which include Carnarvon Gorge. The Gorge features towering sandstone cliffs, vibrantly coloured side gorges, diverse flora and fauna and Aboriginal rock art. We start our journey with the Nature Trail (1.5km return), followed by the Rock Pool (600m) where swimming is optional. Mickey Creek Track (3km return) is an optional excursion following lunch. We arrive back at Wallaroo in time for dinner and a campfire yarn.
We start the day with an optional stroll around Skull Mountain to work out any kinks from yesterday, followed by breakfast. Today we tour the Wallaroo property and will see Date Rock, Cycad Gorge/Arch Rock, Arcadia Valley Lookout, Rainbow Cave and The Sphinx. It is a full day of some amazing sights and insights into cattle raising and running a station like Wallaroo.
Before the sun sets we must leave this fabulous location for our flight home.
