Hughenden is a classic Queensland outback town. It owes its existence to the railway line and the surrounding cattle grazing land. Ernest Henry, who settled in the area in 1863, named his property Hughenden Station after the English home of his maternal grandfather, Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire. When the town was surveyed in 1877 it took the name of the station.
Its primary appeal is based on its position on the edge of Australia’s ancient inland sea which existed between 95 and 120 million years ago and left a rich supply of fossils in the area. The most important fossil discovery has been that of a Muttaburrasaurus which is displayed prominently in the Flinders Discovery Centre. The skeleton, found in 1962, was the first entire fossil to be found in Australia.
