Today, we finally got some chill out time, but not until late
afternoon… geez, who’d have thought it was such hard work being on holiday?
We were up at the crack of dawn to go dinosaur
hunting… There are some genuine dinosaur footprints (thought to be about 130
million years old) embedded in the rocks just off Gantheaume Point but you need
a really low tide to be able to see them.
Low tide was at 6.45am so we were at Gantheaume Point at 6.30am. There are three sets of prints and unfortunately,
the tide was only low enough for us to find two of them. Apparently these are the prints of a
theropod, which is like knowing the class of dinosaur but not the exact one.
Our prints could have been made by any one of these... it's anyone's guess which one...
Remember the photo from yesterday with the girls jumping off the rocks at Gantheaume Point? Here are the same rocks at low tide… completely different landscape…
A different perspective… looking back at the same rocks
We’re packing up and driving up to Cape Leveque tomorrow so
the rest of the day was spent shopping and washing before we finally managed
some down time this arvo.
