It is a bit of a drive up a sometimes steep, rocky road; but well-worth the travel. The facility is situated atop a mesa plateau and the location offers great views of the surrounding landscape. We arrived for the guided tour at 11am. The tours are highly recommended, and there were at least two others from which to choose (1pm... More

Went to the Age of the Dinosaurs on the way back to Longreach from Winton, extremely fascinating and it would be good to go back when they have the new visitors centre open later this year. More

Our tour guide, George, was friendly and informative, and very patient in answering endless questions from our kids... More
