About me
Come picnic with me at Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park! I’m Samantha Schofield and I own and operate Desert Romance Picnics
In early 2023, my son joined the Australian Army. I was inspired by his sense of adventure, I too decided to set out on a new challenge. At 51 years old, I quit my public service job in Brisbane, packed my car to the brim and set out to start my new career as a tour guide in Central Australia.
I completed my ‘Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Park Knowledge for Tour Guides’ accreditation with Charles Darwin University. I enjoyed working for a large tour company, but I felt a more personal approach was missing in the park. So, I began researching ideas and approached Parks Australia with my picnic concept. They loved it, so here I am!
I have a background in photography, administration, customer service and event planning. All my combined experience has manifested into this boutique business where I can share the local culture and landscape in a relaxed personalised picnic or proposal. We can help you celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, ladies/mum groups, family picnics complete with games. We can even decorate in your favourite colour or theme. There is no limit, just send an enquiry through, I love a challenge!
I love Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. There is a sense of endlessness and stillness in Central Australia to make you feel like the only person on Earth.
Hope to see you soon.
