FAQs
  • Q. I have some dietary restrictions. Do you provide options? A. Yes we do. We’ll send you a form requesting your dietaries and provide you with options in advance for your lunch. We give you time and you’re welcome to purchase your own morning tea at the Roma Sale Yards, while mixing in with the cattlemen and their agents. Q. Is there a lot of walking and climbing up steep slopes? A: This tour is easy paced and suits most ages and fitness levels. Mt Abundance is a natural landscape, so expect uneven ground with sometimes loose gravel and other times rocky areas. Good balance is recommended. Q. Will there be toilets. Toilets are available at the Roma Sale Yards (our morning tea spot). There is a small cabin (built by the owners) with a flushing toilet on the top of Mt Abundance that is also available for use. Q. Will there be snakes. A;There could be, depending on the time of year we travel. Snakes are only out and about in the warmer months. They tend to hear us coming, move away and not to worry anyone – nobody has been bitten yet! You’ll notice we do get excited when we see snakes (and all other wildlife for that matter). We don’t try to catch any snakes on tour, taking joy in letting them continue on their merry as we watch and explain their attributes and behaviours. Q. Can I go to Mt Abundance on my own? A: The entire mountain is under private property, so you can’t travel their independently. Plus you would miss out on all the great commentary and background information if travelling alone.
