Richmond

Oasis in the Outback

Imagine being in a place so diverse, so vast you feel an indescribable sense of freedom. From the plains of the downs country to the silvery shimmer of the sun shining on the gidgee trees in the forest country, Richmond is often referred to as an Oasis in the outback.

Situated on the Overlander’s Way halfway between Townsville and Mt Isa, the town is located on the bank of Queensland’s longest river, the Flinders, and is known for recreational “Lake Fred Tritton” and bougainvillea-lined streets, parks and gardens. Richmond is also home to the award winning major attraction “ Kronosaurus Korner”.

Kronosaurus Korner

Inside Kronosaurus Korner you'll find the only centre in Australia primarily dedicated to displaying marine reptiles, as well as a very special dinosaur. Minmi, with impressions of its fossilised skin, is considered to be Australia's best-preserved dinosaur skeleton. The Richmond Pliosaur here is Australia's best vertebrate fossil, and one of the world's best skeleton fossils.
