AUSTRALIAN DURASIC PARK DISCOVERED.

3 RAPTORS FOUND IN BILLABONG IN WESTERN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA. Come on everybody who likes Jurasic Park, this is not fiction but fact. Raptors from Durasic Park 3 have been unearthed in Brisbane's North West. THREE new species of Australian dinosaurs have been discovered in a prehistoric billabong in western Queensland. Premier Anna Bligh announced the discovery in the central western town of Winton today as she opened the first stage of the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History. The dinosaurs have been nicknamed after characters created by poet Banjo Paterson, who is said to have written Waltzing Matilda in Winton in 1885. Banjo (carnivorous theropod), Matilda and Clancy (giant plant-eating sauropods) were found in a vast geological deposit near Winton that dates from 98 million years ago. The first new sauropods to be named in Australia in more than 75 years were unearthed during State Government-funded joint Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and Queensland Museum digs. The meat-eating Australovenator wintonensis (Banjo) has been coined Australia's answer to the velociraptor made famous in the Jurassic Park movies. The two plant-eating, four-legged sauropod species are new types of titanosaurs - the largest animals ever to walk the earth. "These discoveries are a major breakthrough in the scientific understanding of prehistoric life in Australia," Ms Bligh said. "The potential for educational tourism through their permanent display at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History in Winton is enormous." The museum will eventually house the world's largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils when it is completed in 2015.

AN UP-DATE.

Australia used to be part of Africa millions of years ago, it drifted apart after a big upheaval took place and a land mass was eroded. The North Western area of Queensland where all the donosaur skeletons are being found plus the Southbank of the Brisbane River used to be part of what was known as the GONDWANA LAND which was reported in the Sunday Sun newspaper in 1988, when they held the EXPO 88. GONDWANA LAND was a DINOSAUR PARADISE where all the prehistoric monsters used to roam freely, it was THE DURASIC PARK but the break away that took place towards the end of the last DURASIC period put an end to these giant lizards and their cousins of the air the PERADECTALS. The GONDWANA LAND became the dinosaur graveyard that was discovered some maybe thirty years ago now on a private property which has become a continual excavation area since they are discovering skeletons all the time in perfect condition. An Australia television report only yesterday showed another discovery of two small dinosaurs that were vegetarians, the complete skeletons have been stored in a museum. 14/7/2009.
