Nilpena Ediacara 'Early Animal Life Unearthed' Tour

Join a guided tour of Nilpena Station and the Nilpena Ediacara National Park fossil fields, among the most intact and significant Ediacaran sites in the world. These remarkable fossils gained global attention when David Attenborough featured them in his landmark series "Life on Earth", recognising their importance in understanding the earliest evolution of complex life.

Stepping back 555 million years to when this landscape lay beneath shallow tropical seas, home to Earth's first large, complex organisms, you'll walk the fossil beds and see exquisitely preserved imprints of the Ediacara biota, revealing how these ancient life forms lived and moved across the ocean floor.

This immersive experience brings deep time to life, revealing dramatic environmental change and the origins of life as we know it. Alongside the fossil story, your expert guide will share the region's rich human history, from Aboriginal heritage through to pastoral and European settlement.
