Local Attractions and Activities in Roma After Dark

Enjoy the Big Rig Night Show

The Big Rig offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of oil, gas, and energy exploration in Australia from the point of view of the pioneers behind it. During the day, visitors can explore historic rigs and mining equipment and machinery that date back to 1900 through a guided or self-guided tour. 

At the end of the day, the entire experience culminates with the Big Rig Sunset Experience. During this event, you can take on a sunset tour of the EMSCO Rig, accompanied by captivating stories of yesteryear. Following this, a 35-minute short history film – featuring the trials and triumphs of early industry men and women in Roma – premiers at the outdoor theatre, complete with a complimentary glass of Outback Port. 

Take a Night Walk at Adungadoo Pathway

Soak up the beautiful local landscape in the early evenings at the Adungadoo Pathway. This 1.7-kilometre concrete pathway follows the course of Bungil Creek, and is a perfect starting point to see some of Roma’s main attractions. This includes Roma’s largest bottle tree, the Big Rig Oil Patch, and Lenroy Slab Hut, which are all within a 1 km radius of the pathway. 

The pathway itself is lined with ancient river gums, some dating back 400 years. The path is also lined with native trees and flowering plants that often attract a wide variety of birds during spring.
