Six Extinctions delves into 'The Big Five' events which drastically reshaped life on Earth: the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous extinctions.
Each historical event was driven by geological and environmental factors like volcanic activity, meteor impacts and climate shifts. These extinction events devastated ecosystems but also paved the way for new evolutionary adaptations.
The exhibition, developed by Gondwana Studios, also examines the ongoing Holocene extinction event—the Sixth Extinction in which we now live—driven largely by human activities such as habitat destruction, climate change and pollution.
Yet, Six Extinctions also offers hope. Through highlighting conservation success stories, the exhibition demonstrates that concerted human effort can still make a difference in preserving biodiversity and restoring Earth's ecosystems.
In the exhibition, you'll explore these extinction events over 485 million years of Earth's history through an incredible collection of replica fossils. Come face-to-face with some of the most formidable predators of each era, including Dunkleosteus, the giant armoured fish that ruled the seas, Inostrancevia, a sabre-toothed predator as fierce as any tiger, Postosuchus, a towering crocodile-like hunter, and a life-sized replica of the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found.
This is a journey through deep time you won't want to miss.

At Spring Bay Distillery you will find a craft distillery on Tasmania's East Coast specialising in award winning Single Malt Whisky, Gin and Vodka.
We use the location of the distillery to maximum advantage to blend our spirits with some of the sweetest waters available. We collect our rainwater from the roof of the distillery and filter out any impurities except the salt influence from Spring Bay that lands on the distillery daily.
Being by the sea, the influence of this sea salt makes the water sweet and round in the mouth and combining this with the maturation of our barrels in the salt air we hope that our coastal style will be captured in our bottles.
We offer tastings at our most picturesque location, in the company of maturing whisky barrels and our gin still, 'Beauty'.
Visit our origin spirit site overlooking Spring Beach on Tasmania's east coast or our grain-to-glass whisky facility in Cambridge. https://springbaydistillery.com.au/pages/book-an-experience
