Eromanga Natural History Museum, located just 3km from the small township of Eromanga, is a site dedicated to prehistoric preservation. The most famous find, Australotitan cooperensis, “Cooper”, provided a phenomenal starting point as it was the largest dinosaur found in Australia and of the top 10 largest in the world. 

Add to the original finds exciting megafauna and flora and there’s more than enough to keep you enthralled during the hour-long tour which is offered at the museum. Communicating an amazing timeline to life right before your eyes—100 million years in 60 minutes.

Work on the dinosaur bones is continuing, with visitors able to fully immerse themselves with the Fossil Prep Programs. Numbers are limited, but there is still space available to join the preparation team from three to 10 days in the labs and work on either the megafauna or dinosaur bones. Learning from their expert team, you will be guided through the stages of fossil preservation and conservation.

Think you’d like to linger longer? A new eight-room guest house, aptly named ‘Cooper’s Country Lodge’, is available for your stay. It features air-conditioned, 4-star, semi self-catering king accommodation, with guest lounge and barbecue area for guest convenience. While staying onsite you can enjoy the fresh air and star-filled night skies, not to mention the new friends you’ll make. 

A new museum has been built and opened in March 2021. Here interpretive exhibitions introduce you to Australia’s ancient natural history. Fossils, including micro-fossils, are also on display. Be enthused as you move from the new theatre to the workshop and see where the magic happens. Incorporated in the building is an improved visitor area, café, shop and reception. With the café seating 50 people, there is plenty of room to accommodate coach tours. A wide variety of merchandise is available at the shop, including books on the natural history of Australia, and of course, dinosaurs!
