[Aqualist] Lancefield Megafauna Festival

[Sanja Van Huet]

LANCEFIELD REVISITED

The
Lancefield Megafauna Festival is coinciding with the Lancefield
Show 18/10/2015 and farmers market 25/10/15. 
 

The
festival is a celebration of significant palaeontological and archaeological
findings in Lancefield since the 1800’s. Excavations by the Melbourne Museum
and various Universities have produced megafaunal bones dated at anywhere
between up to 60,000 years bp.  

There will be a discussion
panel featuring Joe Dortch (Uni WA), Richard Gillespie (Uni
Wollongong), Sanja van Huet (Deakin Uni) and local megafauna enthusiast, Syd
Green.
