The Bass coastline from San Remo to Inverloch is a world-famous fossil site but is now of more local interest after local teacher and palaeontologist, Mike Cleeland, discovered the jaw of a dinosaur near Inverloch in 1990.

In conjunction with the Bunurong Environment Centre at Inverloch, Mike runs “dinosaur dig” tours of some of the fossil sites.

Tours involve not only learning about how dinosaurs roamed this area millions of years ago but are also hands-on – you can try searching for dinosaur footprints or breaking apart rocks looking for fossilised “dinosaur food”.
