History

Dinosaur World was a 4-hectare (10-acre) Fun Park situated on 7.3 hectares (18 acres) of natural bushland and offers 18 life-size dinosaur models, native wildlife, a barbecue area, extensive playground including trampolines, swings and slides and a natural history museum.

The park was originally owned and operated by Bill and Stephanie Myers. Bill designed and built the dinosaurs himself. The park operated for 20 years before its most recent owner, Keah Otto, was forced to close its doors in 2002. She cited many issues for its closure, including the cost of insurance and Work Cover.[1]
