Australian Age of Dinosaurs, Winton Queensland Travel Video
It’s an understatement to say we were impressed with the Australian age of Dinosaurs museum in Winton, Australia.
They recently discovered a totally new kind of pterosaur, as well as the most complete skeleton of a flying dinosaur ever found. They also have a number of other “world’s only” kind of credits, but it’s also an understatement to call it a museum. It’s more of a prehistoric cultural destination that combines, art, exhibits, and real interactive archeology and sets it on a stunning plateau overlooking an endless expanse of raw Australian Outback. You can even sign up to work on real digs and clean the real fossils if you are over 12 years old. Imagine being a kid and getting to learn about dinosaurs by working on real digs and removing real fossils from the rock in their laboratory. This is really a facility that is unique in all the world. Make Winton a stop on your next adventure in Australia.

Australian Age of Dinosaurs animation, Nov 2013
This animated story of the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History was created by Alice Peacock as part of her 3rd year work while an Animation & Visual Effects student at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga. Her brief was to work with a not-for-profit organisation, creating a professional animation for them. Alice was a delight to work with and AAOD loves the end result. Thank you Alice!

Winton - Age of Dinosaurs
Giant dinosaur footprints saved in Queensland, Australia | Chasing dinosaurs
It's a race against time and the elements to save a once-in-a-lifetime dinosaur find. These footprints are almost 100 million years old!
The huge tracks from sauropods — like a brachiosaurus — are rare in Australia, but these look to be some of the best-preserved prints around.
The smaller footprints belong to two-legged creatures — a chicken sized insect-eater and a emu sized herbivore.
The dig site is a dried creek bed near the town of Winton in central west Queensland. The area is prone to floods. And while it was floodwater that brought these prints to light, it could floodwater that spells their end.
This isn't your average dinosaur dig. ABC Science Reporter, Belinda Smith watches as the palaeontologists excavate and relocate the trackway to Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum.

Gigantic New Dinosaur Species Uncovered in Australia
While excavating the so-called “Ho-Hum” site in Queensland, Australia, paleontologists discovered one of the most complete skeletons of a long-necked sauropod dinosaur ever found on the continent. The newfound species, named Savannasaurus elliottorum, measured up to 50 feet (15 meters) long, and is closely related to titanosaurs from South America and Asia. -- Full Story:
