Step into SparkLab and travel back millions of years to a time when Queensland looked nothing like it does today.

Join palaeontologist Dr Espen Knutsen for an adults-only night of science exploring the prehistoric creatures, ancient environments and fossil discoveries that reveal Queensland's past.

Discover the remarkable animals that once roamed and swam across ancient Australia, how life recovered after Earth's greatest mass extinction and the modern technologies helping scientists uncover new clues hidden in stone.

From field expeditions in remote locations to cutting-edge 3D modelling and artificial intelligence, learn how palaeontologists are bringing Queensland's lost worlds back to life.
