Filming at Eagle's Nest April 16th


A small group of Dinosaur Dreamers took part in the filming of an episode of "Coast" at Eagle's Nest, near Inverloch on Wednesday April 16th. The weather was perfect and Mike Cleeland topped it off by finding a fossil bone in the shore platform close to where the filming took place.
Dr Tom Rich and Dr. Tim Flannery discussed the discovery of Australia's first dinosaur bone at Eagle's Nest and Tim's student days when he, Rob Glenie and John Long re-discovered the site in the late 1970s.

weathered it wasn't worth keeping. Sorry,
Jeorg.

Fashionable and functional.
