A Green Retreat in an Ancient Land<\/h3>

Green is the colour of choice in so many ways here. It\u2019s a pocket of almost tropical paradise in an otherwise arid landscape and even the water is a magnificent jade green.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Eco-sensitive Tourist Park<\/h3>

This unexpectedly lush and ancient land is the home of Boodjamulla National Park (previously known as Lawn Hill National Park), the World Heritage-listed Miyumba Riversleigh Fossil Fields and Adels Grove, an eco-sensitive tourist park (so it\u2019s green in more ways than one) with its own fascinating history and a well-deserved reputation for excellence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Winner of a number of Queensland Tourism Awards, Adels Grove was named in the Hall of Fame for Hosted Accommodation in Outback Queensland in 2017. Situated on Lawn Hill Creek, Adels Grove is set among a plantation of exotic trees initially grown by the French botanist Albert de Lestang more than 90 years ago. In 1920, Albert de Lestang established the property as an experimental botanical garden, supplying hundreds of seed varieties to Brisbane Botanical Gardens and even to Kew Gardens in England. Albert named the garden using his initials – \u2018A de L s\u2019 Grove.<\/p>

Nowadays the resort is an oasis retreat for travellers. Added to its traditional accommodation of pre-erected tents, air-conditioned rooms and campsites are the Eucalyptus Rooms\u2014nine en suite rooms which are equipped with reverse-cycle air conditioning, fridge, queen or twin beds (linen included) and interconnecting timber decking. The complex also features Albert\u2019s Bar and Bistro serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and a little fish-and-chip-style takeaway that operates during the main tourist season.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
