Age of Dinosaurs Museum - Opalton

Yeppoon, Queensland

Do you dare to tread Dinosaur Country? Winton's eternal flats once swarmed with prehistoric wildlife and lush flora. From the frightening to the fantastic, see the remains of these Capricorn dinosaurs at Winton's Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum. When Winton was a forested wetland, the region was full of incredible prehistoric creatures. How can I experience Dinosaur Country? Winton Dinosaur Preparation Project: Help bring these prehistoric giants back to life! Get hands on with real dinosaur bones, and help to prepare fossils for display. Dinosaur Discovery Week: Dig for dinosaur bones as part of this exciting excavation project. Join the team amid the vast, rolling Mitchell grass downs, and help retrieve 'never seen before' dinosaur bones. Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways: See the trackways of the world's only recorded dinosaur stampede, which have remained frozen in time for about 95 million years. Heading West Visit Winton's Waltzing Matilda Centre for a dose of Australian folklore and the rustic mining settlement of Opalton to search for treasure. Heading East Longreach is home to the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, and Starlight's Lookout, the jumpup used in the infamous cattle heist.
