The biggest and best outback adventures start in Roma and is located just half-a-day’s drive west of Brisbane.  The Roma Airport has regular 1-hour flights to and from Brisbane.  If you are looking to explore the outback, it is only a three-hour drive to Charleville.  A long weekend coastal getaway in Rockhampton is easily achieved with a six-hour drive.

There are eight established tourist drives, perfect for the 4WD enthusiast looking to get off the beaten track.  Carnarvon Gorge National Park offers towering white cliffs, huge rock overhangs adorned with ochre stencils and engravings from an ancient and ongoing culture and an array of well-established walking trails.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality.  There is an abundance of cafes ideally located throughout town and dining options include fine dining restaurants, niche cafes, contemporary pubs with alfresco dining, plus all your traditional take-away options (KFC, McDonalds, Dominos, Chinese, etc.).

With two schools in Roma (one public and one private), it is the perfect place to raise a family. Roma has plenty of sporting venues and playing fields including include a swimming pool, golf course, bowling green, tennis, rugby union, rugby league, clay target club, as well as art galleries, public library, and museums.  There are good housing bargains to be found in Roma and prices are still very affordable and a great entry into the property market. 

With NBN available, you won’t feel cut-off from fast reliable internet for communication, streaming and gaming.

Hotels, pubs, and churches feature prominently near the centre of town. The ten hotels are within easy walking distance with most adjacent to another hotel.

Roma has a low unemployment rate of 2.9% which is among the lowest unemployment rates in Australia.

Toowoomba provides an ideal opportunity to escape the long commutes and the hustle & bustle of big city life. With affordable quality housing, the average commute to work is only 15 minutes. The local community is an ideal place to live as you enjoy the benefits of a true work-life balance environment. Toowoomba’s reputation as the “Garden City” speaks for itself with parklands, walking trails, and great coffee and breakfasts from a large selection of cafes.

As the second largest inland city in Australia (second to Canberra), you still have access to all mod-cons of city life with a large choice quality private and state education facilities, a university, three major hospitals, a major Airport with direct flights Townsville, Sydney and Melbourne (well usually-unless COVID stops us) and a large choice of sporting, recreational, and cultural facilities.  And if you still have the need to hit the big city, Brisbane is only 1.5 hours away. Or you easily can drive to the Gold or Sunshine Coasts in only 2 hours for a weekend getaway.
