 We are looking forward to our first multi-day dig since Covid derailed all our plans.

We will be back at the Flat Rocks site at low tide on Saturday morning looking for mammals and dinosaurs and turtles! We're not actually looking for fish but expect to find them anyhow.

Lesley Kool OAM

 Dinosaur Dreaming leader Lesley Kool is awarded an OAM in the 2023 Australia Day Honours List! Read about it in local newspaper Sentinel Times (and check out their video link at the end of their article).

Lesley’s OAM must be the coolest of them all - South Gippsland Sentinel Times sgst.com.au

She even gets a mention in The Guardian as one of the "recipients whose work might go under the national radar, but were transformative". I think that sums it up nicely.
