This huge display area houses an amazing exhibition of fossils from around the world, as well as an extensive and growing display of fossils from the local area. ‘Hughie” is the star attraction; a life size skeletal replica of a Muttaburrasaurus.
Come and witness the amazing light and sound show that takes you back over 500 million years to the beginning of the formation of Porcupine Gorge.
The Bioregions display give concise information about the four different bioregions in the Shire, explaining land types, flora and fauna unique to these areas.
“Shearing the Stragglers” tells the story of the demise of the sheep industry throughout the Flinders Shire. Tales of hardship and change are told through stories of men who lived this grueling life from 1865 to present day times.
