I heard about this when I was up there last year - I can't wait to go back and have a look. I am also going to go on a dig one day.   smilesmilesmile

Keep looking in WA, KJ - perhaps you'll find some dinosaur traces in the remote & hot parts.

I'd guess the picture featured is the "Dinosaur Stampede" - the tracks are on display imbedded in the clay/rock at Lark Quarry (out from Opalton-Winton)

Hello all - I think that the picture featured is part of the new Dinosaur walk at the Museum. The display at Lark Quarry is actually undercover and very interesting.

We have visited Winton twice, but after viewing this info, we think wewill do a Dinosaur run later this year, or next winter.

Winter in Winton, would be a real treat. 

Thanks for the info.

Jay&Dee
