Ancient Outback
From Mount Isa to Mount Isa

Trip Length: 7 days  Total Distance: 1210 km  Road Conditions: All sealed roads
Mount Isa			Richmond			Winton			Mount Isa

Follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs across the ancient great inland seabed when you embark on this fascinating drive. Experience the rugged beauty of Queensland's north-west outback through some of the most dramatically changing landscape in Australia.

Fully sealed roads lead you from the largest inland city and mining heart of Australia, Mount Isa, to where dinosaurs once roamed and roared across an outback much different to the one we see today. Come face to face with these giants from the past and learn how they walked, swam and survived millions of years ago. Fossick and pick up an authentic dinosaur fossil to take home. Witness the massacre site when a stampede took the life of thousands in one go.

Hear the legends of yesteryear and meet the colourful characters that live here today. In pubs and stores they'll greet you with a warm gidday and usually a tip of the hat for the ladies.

This route can be accomplished with a 2WD vehicle though some of the roads to attractions along the route are dirt and may become inacccessible after rain. No matter what vehicle you are travelling in be sure to check road conditions before departure.
