Why did a dinosaur make a 2000km trek on the back of a ute to North West Queensland?
If you were travelling along the Flinders Highway in the North West Queensland recently, you may have seen something very strange travelling on the back of a ute.
Underneath a large cloth you could make out a blue fin and a large tail.
Would you believe me if I said it was a dinosaur hitching a ride out west?
Actually, it was a replica of a pliosaur, a once large marine creature with large paddle-like fins and a snout similar to a freshwater crocodile.
The pliosaur hitched a ride with Paul Stumkat, the curator at Kronosaurus Corner in Richmond.
So why did the dinosaur make the nearly 2000km on top of a ute?
Mr Stumkat tells us about the strange looks he got while driving.
