About 100 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, western Queensland was covered by the sea. Evidence of this time period is found between Richmond and Hughenden in the form of numerous marine fossils, including shark teeth, shells and the fearsome kronosaurus, a marine reptile of the pliosaur family, for which Richmond is now known as the fossil capital of Australia. For a fabulous panoramic view of the Hughenden region, climb to the 6 viewpoints at 478 m above sea level on Mount Walker. Rewarding guide: splendid sunrises and sunsets.
