Headed up the Landsborough Hway to Mt Isa and NT in May and wondered if the sidetracks to see dinosaur fossils eg muttaburrasaurus etc are worth the time and trouble and if so which is the best the best of them along this route

I would presume any fossil sites would be
well protected and on private property, The best way to see the fossils would be to visit the Outback at Isa Centre
center or if near
Richmond visit the Kronosaurus Corner
richmond
and when in Mt Isa this link will give you some leads
mt-isa
Hope you enjoy your visit

If you are into this sort of thing then
Lark Quarry south of
Winton is
well worth visit. It is where they have the footprints of the dino stampede.

Certainly worth the drive out there from
Winton. Allan Smith the guide has a passion for the geological history of the area and brings alive the situation leading up to the stampede.

Could detour through
Muttaburra and
Hughenden where they have a skeleton on show.
