Would you like to put your name on Australia's dinosaur map and be the first to see dinosaurs emerge again after 95 million years? Join dinosaur hunters from all over the place and find dinosaurs in Outback Queensland!



Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and its paleontology staff will organise Dig-a-Dino Experience at The Dinosaur Capital of Australia, Winton Queensland. Everyone can participate (must be 18 years old or over with good health and physical fitness because the digs can be anywhere from 60–80km from medical assistance) and no need paleontologist background is required. The Australian Age of Dinosaurs team will explain everything you need to know, including how to differentiate bones from rocks and be available to answer questions and provide guidance. All you need to do is pick your spot, on your own or with fellow diggers, and start looking for fossils. You can also have a go at plastering the specimen you have dug out and get it ready for the trip to the Museum's Fossil Preparation Laboratory and see first-hand what will happen to your finds in the future.



A day as a dinosaur dig team member can be as full-on or as casual as you like. There will be a guided tour of the museum site (known as The Jump-Up), a picnic lunch while enjoying spectacular views and nature walks, so it's not only about digging and getting dirty while you're here.


You can choose package options for Dig-A-Dino Experience and jot down 2023 Dig-a-Dino Experience dates from this site . Enjoy this 7 days of comfortable Outback experience, complete with a clean and comfortable accommodation (facilities include flushing toilets, showers and a washing machine), home-cooked meals (including hot breakfasts and scrumptious morning and afternoon tea breaks) and transport from Winton to dig site and return, if required.
