Celebrate the Dinosaur Coast

JULY 1-15, 2017
CELEBRATE THE DINOSAUR COAST

Celebrate the Dinosaur Coast is organised by the Dinosaur Coast Management Group (DCMG) in partnership with the Roebuck Bay Working Group (RBWG). Micklo Corpus, DCMG Chairperson said, ‘This is a great opportunity for the whole community to learn more about the dinosaurs who used to call Broome and beyond home.’ RBWG Project Manager Kandy Curran said, ‘this is a stand out for 2017, with lots of hands on dinosaurian activities led by two of Australia’s leading paleontologists.’

Research published in Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Memoir 16 (Mar 2017) has captured international and national attention. Led by Dr Steve Salisbury (University of Queensland), the work established the rich diversity of well-preserved tracks on the Yanijarri-Lurrajarri section of the Dampier Peninsula coastline as unparalleled.
