Dinosaur Dreaming

Museum Victoria and Monash University have conducted “Dinosaur Dreaming” digs since 1995. Originally at the Flat Rocks site outside Inverloch, Victoria, it has evolved to include localities along the Bass and Otway Coasts. Since 2008 this blog has shared images and stories of crew taking part in excavations, fossil bones recovered, and fossilly things we get up to between digs. The most recent dig took place at Eagles Nest and Twin Reefs for 10 days in February 2024.

week 2 crew photo and new drill

Week 2 crew on site. Hard to believe it had been 43 degrees C only a few days earlier.
Absent is Alan Evered (again) and Gerry Kool (photographer).

Thanks to the generosity of Wal and Tim Edgar and John Volk from Total Tools in Cranbourne, Victoria (03 5995 7411), Dinosaur Dreaming became the proud owner of a new drill and generator. Pictured is Tim and Johnat at the Total Tools store in Cranbourne donating the drill and generator to John Swinkels, one of the Dinosaur Dreaming team.

Here is the new drill in action. Excavator, Nick van Klaveren tested the drill on the shore platform and declared that it really did the job. The holes were drilled for the plug and feathers, featured in the first week of the dig.
