Such a diverse Australian dinosaur assemblage! With so many tracks over such a large area, i want to know why no bones have been found there yet?!?!

"In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..."
