The Outer Barcoo Interpretive Centre is a museum depicting the evolution of nature from 100 million years ago to the present. The feature attraction is a life-sized replica of Isisfordia Duncani, who lived around 98 million years ago and was the evolutionary ancestor of all crocodilians living on Earth today.
The Bulldog fish was also found in the area, dating back 100 million years ago. There are displays of local fauna, flora, reptiles, birds, and fossils that have lived in this region, as well as the formation of the Great Artesian Basin and the general history of the Isisford area. An audio-visual presentation portrays life in the Isisford area since settlement.
The film depicts Isisford as being ‘the middle of everywhere’. The building also houses 60 seat theatrette, a cafeteria, and local arts and craft displays.
