Boulia to Winton and Hughenden

We left Boulia and headed for Winton, arrived mid afternoon, parked the van and then headed to town to get some meat and vegies.  Spent the rest of the night relaxing, had a great dinner - rib eye fillet.  This caravan park does put on a roast every night (beef only) and we had that at another caravan park once and it was tough so we cooked our own.  They also put on entertainment and the two nights we were there they had the Poet of Many Hats and no we didn't attend.

Went to the Dinosaur Stampede which is at Lark Quarry Conservation Park approx. 110 kms out of town.  This is the only known dinosaur stampede known on earth.

When we left Winton, we headed down to the Dinosaur Centre where they have found more dinosaurs than anywhere in the world.  We didn't do the tour as we did it a couple of years ago but wanted to see the new centre.  We then headed back to town and onto Hughenden.

When they made Jurassic Park they hired a palaeontologist ? and they came here to check how the dinosaurs walked.

This photo shows how far below the surface the prints were

This is a large footprint

There are lots of small prints here

 

 

Tony has some better photos that he took with his camera but they take a long time to download.
