Mount Isa to Richmond

Richmond was our first overnight stop after leaving Mount Isa. The caravan park had no powered sites so we opted for the free RV park. There was more room than in the crowded caravan park even though the only facilities were potable water and a dump site.

The main attraction in Richmond is dinasaur and other fossils. The information centre has this large statue of a Kronosaurus. Squillions of years ago the area around Richmond was a sea so many of the fossils are of fish.

The unusual round rocks at the RV park are known as moon rocks. Every 2 years there is a moon rock throwing competition during the fossil festival.
