Roll on with the road trains into Hughenden, your destination for the evening. Located on the edge of the inland sea, Hughenden is home to the Flinders Discovery Centre and Museum. Spend the afternoon meeting Hughie the Muttaburrasauras replica, viewing genuine dinosaur fossils from around the world and exploring this country hub.
