2010 Fossil Festival
In Richmond an ancient world awaits anyone who wants to discover it! The foundations our town is built on provide a unique glimpse into the prehistoric past, as the world was 100 million years ago during the cretaceous period. They tell the story of when Richmond was submerged under the vast Ancient Inland Sea.

In that sea lived a variety of all creatures great and small, whose remains have provided us with perhaps the finest fossils found anywhere on earth. Come share the wonder at our Fossil Festival, celebrating Richmond's Unique Fossil Heritage. From Art Workshops and Auctions, Rodeo's, Camel Races, Novelty Events and Car Show's - April 29 to May 2, 2010 - all roads lead to Richmond for outback entertainment at its finest!!
