Eromanga's friendly dinosaur 'Cooper'

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day

It seems that Eromanga in western / outback Queensland holds the title for Australia's largest dinosaur "Australotitan cooperensis" known locally by the friendly nick-name of 'Cooper'. Eromanga, 1000km inland from the state capital Brisbane, is in the Cooper Basin and the well known channel country. From fossilised bones the experts estimate Cooper to have been 35metres long x 15m tall, making it the second largest dinosaur fossil ever discovered

This sculpture from aluminium tube is an artists' representation of Cooper plus two youngsters

Was driving when I posted.

The lighting is really cool and the sculptures themselves are def. an interesting take.
Well done.

That's what I like about Oz, ya'll just as eclectic and weird as we are in the US.
