The Car
I went to an Open Garden day at a garden in Cloncurry, 120 kilometres from the Isa. On the way into town there is this lookout.

This is the old Richmond Roadhouse. Just up the road from the fossil turtle, this used to be a centre of activity.

Back in Richmond

Fossil Turtle
I was back in Richmond again, this time for work. Although it was hardly real work. I got to go fossicking for fossils. We came across this fossil turtle shell in the rock.

The Evidence

IMGP3397

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.

A Long Time Ago In A Place Nearby

80 million years ago

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.

Kronosaurus Korner

Kronosaurus

This is a model of a Kronosaurus at the Richmond Kronosaurus Korner Museum. It would have been a scary sight to see one of these in real life.
