✨A featured event in the 2025 Canberra & Region Heritage Festival
Step back 400 million years and uncover treasures in an ancient seabed!
Join us for Fossick for Fossils, a hands-on adventure perfect for families on Mother’s Day, explorers, and palaeontology enthusiasts.
Embark on a self-drive guided tour to two fossil beds on private property just 10km from Yass. These extraordinary sites, part of the Silurian period, date back 443–419 million years and were first recorded by explorer-geologist Paul Edmund de Strzelecki and made famous by Alfred Shearsby.
Explore, fossick, and chat with our knowledgeable guides about your discoveries.
Suitable for ages 5 years & up. Children must be supervised by a parent or adult guardian at all times.
Tours meet at Coronation Park on Comur Street, Yass, behind the Yass Valley Information Centre. From there, we’ll depart together, travelling in your own vehicle to the fossil sites.
For safety purposes, please note that this activity takes place on a working cattle farm with uneven, grassy, and rocky terrain and a moderate level of fitness is recommended.
Bookings are essential. These tours are popular and tend to sell out fast - secure your spot early!
2 dates available: Saturday, 26 April & Sunday, 11 May 2025
