Entrance

This is the entrance to the Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways, Winton.  The building behind is approximately half an acre and designed to protect this magnificent dinosaur stampede.  

Dinosaur Stampede

 (look on the right of this photo under the lights, you'll see the meat-eating dinosaur track)

It is believed that Lark Quarry was part of a great river plain where dinosaurs used to gather and drink at the lake.  ~ 200 dinosaurs, ranging from the size of a chicken to an emu gathered to drink.  

"A huge meat-eating theropod, smaller than a Tyrannosaurus, approached the lake. It slowed, saw the other dinosaurs gathered at the water’s edge and began to stalk, then turned and charged. The stampeding herd of smaller dinosaurs left a chaotic mass of footprints in the mud as they ran to escape".

Corfield & Fitzmaurice Building

This Building is located in town and shows a scaled model version of the stampede of what we saw out at  Lark Quarry. The building also housed a museum of Winton's history and a wonderful store with crafts handmade by the people of Winton.

Winton's rubbish bins are dinosaur feet. Very cool!
