Winton sauropod trackway opening

 A few Dino Dreamers headed up to Australian Age of Dinosaurs last weekend to celebrate the grand opening of The March of the Titanosaurs.

Waiting for the day to begin was difficult - we could see the trackway building and some giant sauropods tantalisingly out of reach...

After a few words from David Elliot and some government supporters, we headed off to see the trackway. 

We stopped to check out the little dinosaur sculptures on the way in.



And then there were the trackways. Wow.

We had to pause and check out that view.

Nighttime brought some different views


Disco dinosaurs

The next morning, AAOD was kind enough to let us sneak back in to visit the sauropods.

Koonwarra Rock at Fish Creek (Sunday 25th)

 Due to inclement weather, we decided to process some Koonwarra rock at Fish Creek instead of sampling the Bass Coast.
