Muttaburra was developed as a town in the late 1870's. The name of the town is derived from an
Aboriginal word meaning "meeting of the waters".
The area, formerly part of a vast inland sea, is rich with fossilised history. The discovery of the fossilised bones of a
previously unknown dinosaur 12m long, 2.5m high from the hip and weighing approx 15 tonnes, resulted in the creature being
named Muttaburrasaurus.
