About Richmond & Dinosaur Country
Richmond sits in the heart of Queensland's remote outback, where vast red earth landscapes and clear starry skies define the terrain. This small town serves as a refuelling point and base for exploring the dinosaur fossil sites and natural wonders of inland Queensland. The visitor centre is open 24 hours to support travellers on the highway.

Golf
The Richmond Golf Course is just 1km from the centre, offering a chance to play a round in the outback.
