The Australian Museum Diprotodon Exhibition is housed at the Coonabarabran Visitor Information Centre, on the Newell Highway, at the southern end of town.
The exhibition displays the skeleton and skull of a Diprotodon, the largest marsupial ever to have lived. It is often likened to a giant sized wombat.
The remains of the Diprotodon were found in the creek bed of Cox's Creek near Tambar Springs in 1979.
The exhibition also provides information on other mega fauna that were believed to have existed at around the same time.
Although the remains are believed to be about 33 000 years old, it is thought that the Diprotodon roamed Australia somewhere between one and two million years ago and became extinct as recently as 20 000 years ago.
Free guided tours of the display are available for groups with advance notice. Please call the Coonabarabran Visitor Information Centre for more information.
