Australian Age of Dinosaurs is home to the world's largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils. A working dinosaur museum and research laboratory, it's located on 1,400 hectares of spectacular mesa plateau with vast scenery, wildlife and walking trails. At the museum you'll see and hear about their exciting dinosaurs, including gigantic sauropods and ""Banjo"", Australia's greatest carnivorous dinosaur.
