Overview

Travel across the vast savannah plains of far north Queensland and see firsthand the untold potential that could help Australia become the food bowl of Asia during the forthcoming century. Starting in Townsville and concluding in Cairns, this dynamic fact-finding tour includes a range of visits to some of the best cattle operations and leading irrigated cropping properties in the north of the state. Stay in Charters Towers with its charming historic buildings and rich gold-mining past and visit Richmond with its fascinating Dinosaur Museum.  Up north, there’s free time for relaxing and watching the sun set at Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria.  Heading east, visit the fascinating Undara Lava Tubes and stay at Mount Surprise and then travel on to the fertile and productive Atherton Tablelands.  Finally, relax and enjoy time in the tropical city of Cairns – home of the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest.

Tour Highlights

  • Major cattle stations demonstrating technological adaptations.
  • Charters Towers with its well preserved buildings and gold mining past.
  • The amazing Undara Lava Tubes and a farmstay at Wambiana.
  • Richmond with its fascinating Dinosaur Museum.
  • Crab & Croc Cruise at Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria.
  • Tropical Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands.

Special Note: This tour provides a unique opportunity to travel and stay in remote areas of outback Queensland. The distances to be travelled, the accommodation and style of food on some occasions may be different from what you have come to expect on more conventional tours, but the chance to meet with the locals and to see these remote areas far outweighs any minor inconveniences and will leave you with life-long memories.
