🌼 School Holidays are calling… and the Quilpie Shire is ready! 🤠🌵

Looking for somewhere a little different to spend the school holidays? Pack the car and head west to the Quilpie Shire!

There’s plenty to see and do while you’re here:

🌼 Go wildflower hunting – get out and enjoy the colourful displays popping up across the region.

🏊 Make a splash – cool off at the FREE Quilpie Swimming Pool!

🎣 Go fishing & yabbying – slow down, throw in a line and see what you can catch.

📸 Explore the sights and towns of the Quilpie Shire – from Baldy Top Lookout and Eromanga Natural History Museum to opals, local history and plenty of outback scenery.

🏍️ Catch the action! – the Quilpie Motorcycle Gymkhana & Enduro is on 26 & 27 September at the Quilpie Golf Club. Expect plenty of bikes, dust and outback action!

And of course, leave a little time to simply explore, take the scenic route and enjoy the wide-open spaces. 🌅

So, what are you waiting for? School holidays + an outback road trip = a pretty good combination! 🚗💨

Big discoveries happen in some pretty BIG country.

Take a look at ENHM from above and you really get a sense of where we call home.

From our reception and museum to the research labs and Cooper’s Country Lodge, it’s all right here, surrounded by seemingly endless Outback Queensland.

And beneath that vast landscape? Millions of years of stories still waiting to be uncovered.

Sometimes you have to zoom out to appreciate just how special dinosaur country really is.
