Overview

Discover one of Queensland’s greatest mysteries.

Explore at your own pace through a unique journey of mystery, discovery and wonder.

Begin with the Mystery Craters story, then walk the ancient formations, explore the viewing areas and uncover the many theories surrounding their origin. Whether you are curious, sceptical or fascinated by the unknown — you decide what you believe.

Your visit includes the Mystery Craters, Augmented Reality experiences, Jim’s Trail: Rust & Roots, and the Earth Room — part museum, part sensory experience, featuring crystals, fossils, gemstones, sound, water and natural treasures collected over decades.

Relax afterwards at the café with barista coffee, handmade scones and treats, or browse the boutique for crystals, gifts and unique finds.

Perfect for families, couples, road-trippers, grey nomads and curious travellers.

Some mysteries are best explored at your own pace.

Come curious. Leave with wonder. ✨
