This is workshop will be held at the Plenty Gorge Park, where the spectacular gorge sets a backdrop for stunning landscape views and the abundant native wildlife. As we walk the tracks down to the gorge and marvel at the rock formations, shaped by ancient volcanic activity with te basalt on the west and sedimentary rock on the eastern side.

In our be a Palaeontologist for a Day workshop, you will join Palaeontologist Diana for a hands-on workshop that takes children back in time hundreds of millions of years to discover and learn all about fossils, bones and ancient remains in nature. There will be games, a bush walk and an opportunity to see real fossils and bones and even do a fossil craft activity to take home.
