At last, I'm getting to the dinosaurs!

There are four sets of dinosaur prints in the stampede to the left.  On the extreme right of the right-hand photo, the lass is showing us that the outside small bone belongs to a bull and the bone beside it is the equivalent bone in the body but it belongs to a dinosaur!  They have uncovered many, many bones - enough to keep them busy for the next twenty five years chipping the excess rocks away to leave the originals as seen here.
 

 This is a model of a Tyrannosauropus, and they have many of the original bones but not all of them, yet!  On the left you can see how dry this country is as three emus run away from the roadside as the van passes.
 

 A little bit of skylarking on the wing of a 747 and getting ready for our ride on a Cobb and Co stagecoach!
 
 
 A cruise on the Thomson River at sunset and then during a bush poetry evening.
 

 Whale watching at Cairns, where, unlike Norway, I was able to see whales without being seasick!
