Dinosaur Experiences Australia

Outback Queensland travel packages announced to share prehistoric wonders as Jurassic World Rebirth hits cinemas

From hands-on fossil digs to luxury farmstays and epic guided adventures, a new suite of travel packages is inviting visitors to step back millions of years and uncover the real-life dinosaur story written in Queensland’s red dirt.

Outback Queensland is home to one of the world’s richest fossil records, rivalling even the most famous palaeontological sites across the globe. Here, travellers can come face to face with the bones of Australotitan cooperensis (aka Cooper), Australia’s largest known dinosaur and one of the top 15 largest dinosaurs ever discovered worldwide.

Forget theme parks and CGI—Queensland’s ancient giants are the real deal, and they’re ready to meet you.

The region’s fossil heritage spans more than 100 million years, revealing new species like Savannasaurus elliottorum and Diamantinasaurus matildae, and providing crucial insights into the evolution and dispersal of dinosaurs across the ancient supercontinent Gondwana. Queensland’s discoveries are regularly published in leading international scientific journals and have reshaped our understanding of dinosaur evolution, not just in Australia but globally.

What sets Queensland apart is the unique combination of internationally recognised fossil sites—such as the World Heritage-listed Riversleigh, the Australian Dinosaur Trail, and the Eromanga Natural History Museum—alongside immersive, hands-on experiences for visitors of all ages. Nowhere else can you walk in the footprints of a dinosaur stampede, see life-sized skeletal reconstructions, and join real fossil digs—all in one region. This blend of scientific credibility, ongoing discovery, and public engagement makes Queensland’s dinosaur story truly unique and positions it as a world leader in palaeo tourism.

Here’s how you can walk in the footsteps of our ancient age of dinosaurs:
