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.

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.
