Our Eric the Red West dig has been cancelled. Some have gone home, some are staying one more night for the promise of Pip’s lasagne and Corrie’s mulled wine.
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.

Back to ETRW!
Today, a small band of Dinosaur Dreamers are off to Eric the Red West to find out if the bones that we call "the block" found at the very end of the 2017 dig are part of a large fossil-dense clump.
We will be cold and wet and ravaged by wind. Wish us luck!
