380 million years of history will be on display during two dino-mite events, when Queensland Dinosaur Week arrives in Rockhampton and Mount Morgan this May.
Supported by Rockhampton Regional Council, the free and interactive sessions will be delivered by Queensland dinosaur expert and palaeontologist, Dr Scott Hocknull, Principal Research Fellow in Applied Palaeontology & Palaeotourism at CQUniversity.
During the family-friendly events, Dr Scott will explore the Rockhampton Region's significant role in Australia's palaeontological story, from dinosaur tracks and trilobites, to technology and tourism. Attendees will discover how our region has shaped the prehistoric story of Queensland and Australia, and uncover true stories to inspire the next generation of young explorers and scientists...
Attendees are also encouraged to bring along their own fossils or palaeontology questions for Dr Scott's expert analysis.
Whether it's learning how Rockhampton's School of Arts put Central Queensland on the scientific map, or Mount Morgan's history as an ancient sea, you'll come away with a new appreciation for the lands which we call home today.
Events in Mount Morgan and Rockhampton are delivered in partnership with Queensland Dinosaur Week and CQUniversity.
