The ENHM Laboratories have often been a hive of activity over the past few months. We have had quite a few individual travellers & some bigger groups, including a group utilising NDIS funding.

Welcome to a brand new Australian dinosaur museum! Eromanga Natural History Museum is an exciting new education and tourism development near where the fossils of Australia’s largest dinosaurs, the Eromanga Titanosaurs are being discovered in South West Queensland, Australia. These dinosaur discoveries were first found 2004 and now you can finally see these amazing bones and teeth, learn about the discoveries and even help clean the bones or join a dig.
