Jurassic Park

If Jurassic Park was a real place it would have to be in Australia. After all Australia is the biggest island in the world, the oldest too, if I remember right from school and the only place that is tough enough to handle these gaints of the past.

We have visited many places that definitely felt like they could be a Jurassic park.

Warrumbungles National park in New South Wales definitely springs to mind. Complete with the famous Volcanic wall breadknife rock formation.

They even found a real life dinosaur near by. The Tambar Springs Diprotodon Skull. It was the largest Marsupial that roamed Australia about 20,000 years ago. It was about the size of a rhino.

Washpool National park is another possible place in New South Wales.

Actually every State Australia has got Jurassic like places, I even got to see a massive crocodile up close, the closest living relatives to Dinosaurs on a Yellow Waters river cruise in Kakadu National Park in the North Territory.

What is my fascination with these fantastic Jurassic like places. It has just got to be the raw nature. I get amazed if we stumble across a big Kangaroo or large Lizard, imagine how amazing it would be to see a dangerous dinosaur up close.

My cheap camera from back in the early 1990s just does do this crocodile immense presence justice. it slowly moved it tail and effortlessly swam up river past the boat. Tour guide recommended not putting your hand or anything else over the side of the craft and into the water!
