Travel on to Julia Creek, home to the endangered Julia Creek Dunnart, a small carnivorous marsupial, about the size of a large mouse. The cheeky resident dunnarts, Donald and Duncan, are fed twice daily at the award winning Julia Creek Visitor Information Centre. It’s a far cry from Sydney, but at the Julia Creek Opera House, you’ll find a gallery of historical photos dating back 100 years. Leaving Julia Creek, it's about another 90 minutes to Richmond. While Richmond is about 500 kilometres from the ocean, it was once the heart of an ancient inland sea. Unlock your inner-palaeontologist and explore Australia’s ancient marine past at Richmond’s free fossil hunting sites. On a visit to Kronosaurus Korner, you’ll see the most complete marine reptile fossils in the world from the Cretaceous period. Or why not uncover one of Richmond’s best-kept secrets with Hampstead Tours featuring stunning escarpments and views of the Gregory Range. The tour includes a hearty lunch at the heritage homestead, great local stories and endless photo opportunities. Finally, take a picnic out to Lake Fred Tritton and wander the Bush Tucker Garden, which interprets the story of traditional plant use by the local Indigenous people.
