Join internationally acclaimed palaeontologist Dr Dean Lomax for a special public presentation exploring the adventures of life as a palaeontologist and the hidden stories behind the dinosaurs and marine reptiles that once ruled our planet.
Drawing on his international research and field experience, Dr Lomax will share fascinating insights into how fossil discoveries are made and what they reveal about the behaviour and “secret lives” of ancient animals. From field expeditions and museum collections to the science behind reconstructing prehistoric worlds, this engaging conversation offers a rare glimpse into the work of a modern palaeontologist.
The discussion will also explore the growing global impact of palaeotourism and its implications for regional communities like Winton. Dr Lomax will reflect on how fossil discoveries, museums and scientific storytelling can shape local economies, global tourism and community identity, while highlighting Queensland’s extraordinary palaeontological discoveries and celebrating Queensland Dinosaur Week.
