Dinosaur Discovery Educational Walk

A special field trip to Flat Rocks to see the Mary Anning fossil site, volcanic lava, fault lines from earthquakes and petrified trees. This session is presented by an experienced palaeontologist. You will be sure to find samples of petrified wood while hunting for dinosaur fossils. These activities are suitable for school aged children, teenagers and adults. You will need sturdy shoes for walking on wet and slippery ground, appropriate clothing and protection for the weather, water and your own transport from the Bunurong Environment Centre in Inverloch to the field site. Our activities go ahead if it is drizzling. However, if the weather conditions pose a threat to the safety of participants we may cancel your ticket.
