Day 21

Kronosaurus Korner Richmond

Following the dinosaur trails yesterday.  Went in to Richmond and had a look around "Kronosaurus Korner' at all the dinosaur skeletons - it was pretty amazing.  Thought we'd try our hand at fossicking nearby - Kaleb found a real skeleton (of a very recently dead kangaroo) but apart from that we did find some fossils.  Some fish bones-ribs and spines, some shells and some coprolite -which basically means dinosaur poo!! It is however, 112 million year old dinosaur poo!  Of course we are keeping it and bringing it home to show for news at school.

Porcupine Gorge

Further along the trail to Hughenden - more dinosaurs, and then off to Porcupine Gorge where we stayed the night.  Walked down the gorge this morning - beautiful scenery and kids had a swim in one of the little pools at the bottom.  Too cold for me but after the walk back up the top we were all sweating again (not good when you haven't had a shower for 3 days!!). 


Innot Springs


Back in the car and off to Innot Springs - some natural hot springs.  We just walked down to the river and there are all these little pools of water.  Some of them were boiling hot but most were beautiful and warm (almost a bath!)  Hopefully be in Cairns tomorrow.  :))
