Tour Information
Looking for an exclusive adventure that offers stunning views of the Carnarvon Ranges without the need for long walks? Look no further than the Highlands 4WD Tag-Along, the only local experience where you can explore the breathtaking views of the 'Roof of Queensland' in your own vehicle.
​
This scenic driving adventure takes you through the ancient sandstone ranges of the private Nyanda Station, offering an unparalleled perspective of the Carnarvon Ranges that cannot be seen or accessed in any other way. Crossing shallow spring-fed creeks, we'll meander along a dirt track allowing you to soak in the stunning views of the towering sandstone walls of one of Australia's most unique geological formations, Reid's Dome.
Our destination is an area we call 'Flat Rock', for a morning or afternoon tea by our crystal clear creek. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and take in the stunning views of the surrounding area, and to ask any questions you might have about the unique history and geology of the area.
