Birdsville Courthouse Experience Closed for Summer

The Birdsville Courthouse Museum Experience has now closed for the Summer, with reopening planned for the 2027 tourist season.

While the museum experience is closed, visitors can still discover the fascinating history of Birdsville's Courthouse and Police Complex.

Located along the fence line in the Courthouse car park, the outdoor Birdsville Courthouse Timeline shares the history of this heritage-listed precinct and the people connected to it.

Visitors are welcome to look around the grounds, the Tracker's Hut, the Gaol, the Jeep, the Courthouse and Residence.

The Courthouse's digital storytelling experience has been relocated to the Birdsville: The Black Book exhibition in the gallery at the Wirrarri Visitor Information Centre.

Featuring five stories of varying lengths, the digital experience explores policing and community life in Birdsville during the early to mid-20th century, sharing historical accounts from the perspectives of the local community.

Reopening is planned for the 2027 tourist season. Please check back in February 2027 for confirmation of the opening date.
