Arrival and information
|
|
|
With its two huge chimneys illuminated at night - the Rotary lookout on Hilary Street gives a good view -
MIM
is the city's major landmark, west of the often dry
Leichhardt River
. The Barkly Highway runs through town as Marian and Grace streets, with the city centre immediately south between Simpson and West streets; it then crosses the river and joins the Camooweal Road in front of MIM. All
buses
pull in across the river at Campbell's Coach Terminal;
trains
terminate at the station below MIM; and the
airport
is 7km to the north, where taxis meet arrivals. The
tourist information office
(daily 8.30am-5pm; tel 07/4749 1555) is in the Riversleigh Fossils Interpretive Centre on Marian Street, and can make all tour bookings. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
