This fascinating tour of Roma and introduction to the region explains the past and present and sees it in the context of its natural attributes and ecology. A highlight is a picnic lunch at Mount Abundance where wildlife and soaring wedge-tailed eagles take refuge, and iconic bottle trees grow in their natural habitat. In the surrounding grasslands and woodlands we may spot emus, black-striped wallabies and grey kangaroos. We also visit Massey Downs Homestead gardens.
