Here are the most likely dates for the 2016/2017 Field Season:
Field Report Day: Saturday, November 12 in the afternoon at Melbourne Museum.
Rookies' Training Day: Sunday, November 20 at Flat Rocks.
ETRW Field Season: Saturday, February 4 to Saturday, February 25.
Friend's day at ETRW during the dig (probably Sunday, February 19).
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.

Planning for the 2017 Field Season
Planning for a Field Season starts a long way in advance. Tom Rich and Dave Pickering have been thinking about it for some time, and the first meeting of a few key organisers is scheduled for this weekend. I expect we'll propose dates for our rookie training day and the ETRW season, and decide what to duplicate or change about such thing as equipment, transportation, fossil protection, and feeding/housing the crew. I'll let you know if anything gets decided afterwards.
