⛺CARNARVON GORGE TREKS-OUTBACK BLISS LUXURY GLAMPING + ROMA & MILES ACCOM

Carnarvon Gorge hikes, Arcadia Valley glamping, campfires & outback stories — a week of adventure and relaxation together.

Our trip begins with a night in Roma, time to stretch the legs, check out the famous bottle tree, take a wander through town, and pick up any last-minute treats before we head further west. Then it’s five nights of luxury glamping in Arcadia Valley, right on a working cattle property, where we’ll have plenty of space to relax, cook together, and enjoy each other’s company. I’ll be bringing all the ingredients for our outback meals, and with the huge log house kitchen fully equipped with every gadget you could imagine, we can make preparing and sharing food part of the fun.

Our adventure includes two big days exploring Carnarvon Gorge — first with a guided trek through the Gorge floor, taking in highlights like the Art Gallery, Wards Canyon, the Amphitheatre and Moss Garden. Then we’ll head back for a second day, this time at our own pace, climbing to Boolimba Bluff and wandering Warrumbah Bluff, with a picnic lunch under the gumtrees.

We’ll also have a day to slow things down — time for reading, chatting, or even trying some campfire damper — and a special half day visit to another cattle station nearby, where we’ll hear stories about pioneering life, sustainable grazing, and the outback way of living. Add in a night in Miles on the return and a surprise stop near Toowoomba, and we’ve got a trip that mixes walking, exploring, laughter, and plenty of time to just enjoy being together.
