By Lex McLennan 1909 - 1969

Beyond the broken bloodwoods, over the timbered rise,
And past the range and river the ghost of Kroombit lies;
And when the bush winds whisper it seems as though one hears
The echoing of the hoof beats and songs of vanished years.
Wide were the Kroombit paddocks and wild the Kroombit steers,
And fearless were the horsemen whose fame has crossed the years;
They rode the rock-bound ranges and sentinelled the plains.
Kings of ropes and  saddles, lean princes of the reins
And still on August evenings it seems as though one hears
Their whooping and their cooees their songs of long dead years.

Reminiscence of yesteryear as you bring in the herd.   Then we follow the trail home to Kroombit and relax with a glass of wine over dinner.

Day 4  
Following breakfast you will spend a day with our guides travelling by 4wd to the remote outback area of the Kroombit Tops.  Learn about the history as you travel through cattle stations, old gold mines and forestry before reaching the ever changing spectacular landscapes of this natural area.

This eco accredited tour takes in the breathtaking scenery from the Kroombit Tops escarpment. 

After a short hike through natural bushland you will be amazed to find Kroombit Falls and the magnificent view down the Kroombit Gorge.  Take in the stillness of the lush rainforest area and it's hoop pine and palm trees.

 

The rugged terrain of the Kroombit tops held the secret of the fate of the World War II B24D Liberator Bomber for nearly 50 years before it was discovered in 1994.  The lives of all airmen onboard were taken one rainy night in 1945 as their bomber crashed into the cliff face. 

the everchanging landscape ...

After an adventure filled day, you return to Kroombit park where tonight you will share your last dinner with Kroombit hosts and savour the taste of fine Australian wine.
Day 5

After breakfast you say farewell to the Kroombit Experience and continue your journey.
