Road Trip

A sign for a road trip. Although it was rather short this time, just out to Lark Quarry and back.

Lark Quarry Windsock

The windsock at Lark Quarry Airfield has now been visited by the Defender.

A visit to Lark Quarry Airfield takes you past this ultraviolet aged sign.

Frozen

These footprints of animals frozen in time of long past travels still amazes me. The Dinosaur Stampede National Monument near Winton is a must see when in Queensland.

Dinosaur Rock

An actual chunk of the Lark Quarry Dinosaur Stampede rock that was removed from the quarry many years ago, for study in Brisbane, is now on display at the Queensland Museum.

Footprints In The Rock

A section of the footprints left behind in what was once soft mud, now is hard rock. The conjunction of the perfect conditions for this preservation to occur and become visible to us is phenomenal.

Desert Scene

This is in the Lark Quarry Conservation Park. It is a wonderful desert.

The Evidence

Some of the footprints left behind. A large one and lots of small dinosaurs. Don't ask me their names, you will have to find that out for yourself.

The Building Covering The Stampede

The walkway up to see the dinosaur stampede footprints.

A Long Time Ago In A Place Nearby

This is from Lark Quarry near Winton. If you drive a bit further down the Marine Fossil Byway on the Australian Dinosaur Trail from Richmond you will find this amazing place. It has preserved footprints of dinosaurs pressed into what was once soft mud. It is well worth a look if you're in the area.
