Riversleigh Fossil Sites | Queensland's 5 World Heritage Sites
Once upon a time, the Riversleigh area of Outback Queensland was a rich rainforest area. Approximately 25 million years the land was in transition from rainforest to dry grasslands. The fossils found in the Riversleigh world heritage sites are unique because they are preserved in 3D due to the makeup of the freshwater limestone in which they have been found. The Riversleigh fossil deposits are among the richest and most extensive in the world, with some fossils dating back 15 to 25 million years.
A few interesting facts about Riversleigh:
• The sites include the first records of many groups of living mammals including the ‘marsupial lion’
• The fossils span a record of mammal evolution of at least 20 million years in length.
• The variety of deposits at Riversleigh has led to an understanding of how the environment has changed over time and how the animals that lived here have changed too.

MUST SEE - Lawn Hill & Adels Grove. Ep.18 Outback Road Trip Australia
The road to Adels Grove!
After our stay at Camooweal we trekked up to Adels Grove via the Riversleigh road. We only left Camooweal at midday, so after a few hours of driving it was time to set up camp again!
We pulled up, on top of this small hill approx 80km south of Adels Grove. The views were amazing! We watched the sunset and star gazed for hours that night. It was one of those magical spots that aren't on wiki camps!
The next day we packed up and continued the trek up to Adels. We stopped in at the Riversliegh Mammal fossil site to have lunch and a look around. ???? After a look around at the fossils & a full belly we hit the road again.
We arrived at Adels Grove that afternoon and checked in for 3 nights. We spent 2 days exploring Lawn Hill National Park and completed all the hikes. Our favourite spots in Lawn Hill would have to of been the Indarri waterfalls, wild dog dreaming track and the upper gorge lookout! Definitely paid to get up early and start the hikes before the days warmed up!
Adels Grove was also magical! Well worth a visit! Awesome fish and chips from the shack! They have tubes you can hire and just float around, an epic rope swing and some hidden gems worth exploring! We loved the fact they were dog friendly, so made traveling into Lawn Hill without rusty a breeze!
After our stay at Adels Grove we headed to Gregory Downs! We had never heard of Gregory Downs until a few fellow travelers mentioned we should definitely go, and it did not disappoint! We spent a total of 6 nights by the river at the free camp, as we loved it that much! The water ran down stream so we could float down a good 200m on our tubes!
The wildlife was amazing at Gregory, birds galore, wallabies just in the bushes behind our camp. The locals did show us a 2.5m fresh water croc which was cool to see! Gregory Downs was action packed with lots of things to keep us entertained! Kurts metal detector came in handy, when we helped a couple in distress! (separate post to come!)
Overall we had a blast at all (Adels, Lawn Hill & Gregory!) It was great being able to swim and relax around in these mini oasis.
