The Quilpie Region in Queensland is home to the Eromanga Natural History Museum (ENHM), where Australia's largest dinosaur, a 95-98 million-year-old titanosaur named 'Cooper,' resides. Nestled in the Australian Outback, the museum celebrates the region's prehistoric history and diverse life through various tours and experiences. Approximately an hour's drive west from Quilpie, ENHM offers opportunities for visitors to learn about fossils, participate in fossil digs, and take guided tours like The Australian Giants Tour, which runs four times a day.
In addition to dinosaurs, the museum displays some of the world's largest megafauna and various microfauna discovered in Eulo, estimated to be 50,000 – 100,000 years old. With the completion of Stage 2, visitors can now enjoy a new cafe and shop at the museum. Knot-A-Saurus Park, located nearby, features a Chinese garden heritage site and a Chinese well from the early 1900s, making it a perfect spot for a lunch break with future garden plans in place.
For travelers seeking an immersive Outback experience, Cooper's Country Lodge provides air-conditioned rooms and the opportunity to explore the best of both worlds.
