Ancient Rock Pillars

These ancient pillars of cap rock on the edge of the Jump-Up at the AAOD Museum of Natural History are very old. And despite their appearance, are completely unsuitable for climbing due to their crumbly, fragmenting nature.

Reception View

Along the Deep Gully Track you will get a view back to the Reception building.

Deep Gully Track

The Deep Gully Walking Track at the AAOD Museum of Natural History is a great way to see a little more of the local scenery. But be careful, it is a rough track with lots of loose crumbly rock.

Sunset's Rays

Last night's sunset rays as we prepare for a dark sky evening in the Gondwana Stars Observatory at The Australian Age Of Dinosaurs Museum Of Natural History.

Jump-Up's Edge

At the very edge of the jump-up there really is a deep drop. I must get myself back here in a downpour to see the water falling over the edge.

Tiny Nights

I recently moved from the Sunshine Coast to the desert in Winton to live under some dark skies and work at the Australian Age Of Dinosaurs Museam. This was a quick capture on the first clear night. Tiny living has its advantages.

Dinosaur Sunsets

The sunsets in the Outback are spectacular. This one is from Dinosaur Canyon on the AAOD Jump Up.

Dinosaur Bugs

Banjo

My favourite dinosaur, Banjo the Australovenator wintonensis still stands against the weathering of geological time at the Australian Age Of Dinosaurs Museum on the Jump-Up in Winton.

Playing With Telescopes

The whole purpose of my visit to Winton was to play with telescopes like this one at the soon to be opening Gondwana Stars Observatory on the Jump-Up.
