Dinosaur Discovery at Eagles Nest

The Cape Paterson claw is recognised as the first dinosaur bone/fossil discovered in Australia. Found by geologist William Ferguson on May 7, 1903, near Eagles Nest (between Cape Paterson and Inverloch, Victoria), this Early Cretaceous theropod claw was initially thought to be a tooth, but later identified as a dinosaurian claw.

You will also see fault lines from ancient earthquakes, petrified trees and hunt for fossils yourself.

Following an introduction to the activity and a safety briefing the group will go to Eagles Nest about seven kilometres away.
