The Station is an active participant in the research
and development of ecotourism in Outback NSW and wildlife tourism
with kangaroos Australia-wide (see the Rootourism web site).
The
Station has constructed eco-trails and wildlife-viewing platforms to
interpret this landscape and the flora and fauna and is developing a
botanic garden (see Information and
Guides).
Visitors to the Station are accommodated in
self-contained cottages, catered quarters or a large communal
dormitory (see Accommodation).
The Director, Dr David Croft, is conducting research on wildlife
tourism with the Cooperative
Research Centre for Sustainable Tourism and has published papers
and reports with a focus on Outback tourism with kangaroos (see CRC Tourism
bookshop). The Station applies these findings, and bush-walking
on Eco-trails and animal-viewing at bird hides are available to further visitors' understanding of life in the arid
lands of Outback NSW.
Our market is special interests in bird or other fauna
watching; bush-walking with interpretation of geomorphology, flora
and fauna; learning about the biology of the Outback on Wildlife
Weekends. Individuals or small groups are housed in a 4-bedroom
self-contained cottage. Larger groups may be catered for in our
twin-share rooms in our spacious well-appointed Quarters with
advance notice.
Bookings are essential because of our commitments
to research and teaching and we provide a booking
form on this site for your convenience.
The Station collaborates with regional tourism
organisations in Broken
Hill and Milparinka to promote visitation and features in local information such as the
'Great Outback Touring Route' map available from regional visitors
centres.
