Launch of the first ever Queensland Dinosaur Week
200 million years later Dinosaurs still steal the spotlight, and on Monday we’ll tell you why and how!
While Queensland may be known for its beaches, the reef, and the rainforest, it’s also one of the most dinosaur-rich places on the planet! Now for the first time, anchored by National Dinosaur Day on 7 May, Queensland Dinosaur Week will be celebrated from Monday 4 May to Sunday 10 May 2026, and is set to become an annual, world-leading paleo-tourism event.
THIS MONDAY is the launch of Queensland Dinosaur Week and the first ever GREAT Queensland Dinosaur Trail Guide.
The State is home to some of the world’s most significant dinosaur and megafauna discoveries and holds the majority of Australia’s dinosaur fossil finds, positioning it as Australia’s ultimate dinosaur destination, because nowhere else in the country can you:
- Stand beside Australia’s largest dinosaur
- Walk through the world’s only recorded dinosaur stampede
- Come face-to-face with giant marine predators from an ancient inland sea
- Explore World Heritage-listed fossil fields AND see Ice Age megafauna
