Love the name. Bit like a bear with a long tail perhaps. That would upset your quiet night around the fire.

Too right. It was my dear departed Grandmothers favourite saying, " hooley- dooley." All they have to do now is find the YOWIE, in the border ranges, how good would that be.

Interesting find in NSW.

With a bit of luck, your lad may unlock the secret of the Bradshaw rock art.

I read somewhere there used to be a carniverous roo. Imagine that - it could hop faster than we can run and it wanted to eat us!

Information about Riverslea, Lawn Hill National park. I've been told that there is not much to see in the way of fossils there, but it is still worth a visit. A visitors centre in Mt. Isa is good value, apparently.

Geez Bob, you manage to put up some grouse stuff in relation to the travel thing.
Another site to put on the "to do" list.
Cheers

Cheers, mate. I'm waiting for the Wife to decide to give up work, to travel to some of these places we haven't seen yet, I hope the old disco & me last that long.

good stuff bob, gives me more to visit next big day out. More hope that if the young fella ever heads that direction there may be a job in it. I'm stocked satellites are finding fossil beds, technology that links real stuff one can touch today to the past.
