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 Twin Reefs for 3 weeks in February 2025.

Rockbreaking Stations
Preparations for our Flat Rocks dig are in full swing now that the start is almost upon us. Here is a great photo of Dave cutting bluestone blocks to size for our new lightweight rockbreaking stations.

3D Model of Dig Site
Although Gerry's rock is a little bit pointy.
Dean tells me he's planning to refine it this year, and maybe even add some of the sedimentary layers.

New laser measure
Dinosaur Dreaming is excited to report that we have received a donation of a Bosch GLM 80. This will allow us to take more accurate measurements on site, not to mention leaving our heavier less accurate measuring equipment at home! Big thanks to Ulrike Read, Mario Heimberger and our very own John Wilkins from Bosch Australia for making this happen.
