Day 7 23/06/2016. Dinosaurs, no marine fossils.

First. Great game last night. 15 people crammed into a camp kitchen with 4 Blues supporters as fodder. This morning started with a late rise, and then off to the Kronosaurus Korner Museum in Richmond. The museum was very good, however you had to listen to an audio device that was held to your ear. Each section was extensive, so my interest failed a little, and my arms killed being in the on the phone state for almost 2 hours! The amount of fossils however was vast and very well displayed. We then drive 12 km out of town to free fossil hunting are, and spent around 45 minutes pretending we knew what we were doing. We did find plenty of fossil shells, and Hayden spent the entire time excavating a large rock / “fossil”. After a quick fuel stop and lunch in the park we headed west and put down some more km. We are now in a free camp site 60km from Mount Isa. The park is full with the grey nomad’s. Tomorrow off to Mount Isa and a few days in a van park so we can restock with food, see some sites, do a shake down including washing, and at least a day of school for Hayden.
