Our vision is to provide quality transformative, sustainable, nature-based tourism experiences.
At Southern Cross Tours, we are passionate about showcasing our region’s natural beauty to visitors. The rainforest that lies to the west of the expanding Gold Coast skyline is not only stunning but also a sanctuary for some of Australia’s most endangered species. As urban expansion poses threats to these ecosystems, our tours aim to highlight this invaluable environment, educating guests to appreciate and champion conservation in their own communities. Our vision is to provide transformative, sustainable, nature-based tourism experiences that leave a positive mark on the places we visit.
We strive to operate sustainably, and our mission is for every tour to leave guests with a deeper connection to nature and the local communities we visit, a new appreciation for the beauty of the Hinterland, and a desire to make choices that support sustainable living and long-term conservation. As part of this commitment, we’ve partnered with Queensland-based project Reforest, currently planting 37 trees every month, restoring 225m² of native habitat and removing 5.6t of CO2 through reforestation projects across Australia.

Located in Victoria’s eastern alpine region, the 85 Tices Road project is transforming a formerly cleared sheep and cattle farm in Omeo into a thriving landscape of native forest, restored creeks, wildlife habitat, and productive farmland.
Through a carefully planned reforestation strategy, the project is planting native trees to reconnect wildlife corridors, regenerate critical habitats, improve soil and water health, and create vital microclimates to support native biodiversity.
This long-term restoration project is also committed to sustainable farming, showing how productive farmland and healthy natural ecosystems can work together. By working in rhythm with the landscape, Omeo Highlands Restoration demonstrates what the future of farming can look like: regenerative, resilient, and deeply rooted in nature.
Wedge-tailed eagles, emus, rosellas, native pollinators, and other native fauna call this landscape home, and it’s their habitat this project is helping to restore.
Your journey with us contributes to a cleaner, greener future, helping ensure our beautiful rainforests remain pristine for generations to come!
