A new town for us to visit on the Flinders Highway whose catch cry is “You’ll Dig Richmond”. Richmond is a town on the Flinders River (the longest river in QLD) known for its lake, fossils and gold mining heritage. Cattle farming and tourism are the biggest industries in the shire.
On our arrival we did the heritage walk around the town, viewing the signs depicting yesteryear. Visited the replica of Cambridge Downs homestead and Kronosaurus Korner which is reportedly the most complete marine fossil and dinosaur collection in the world with 1500 specimens which covered Richmond over 100 million years ago.
We have camped on man made Lake Fred Tritton and the skies are clear and weather is mild.
Woke the next morning to the sound of thousands of galahs!Read more
