"Australia is not fertile ground for dinosaurs, but Tom Rich and his wife Pat Vickers-Rich have made the most of the sparse fossil record. Their finds have shown that small dinosaurs stayed active through the long winter darkness when Australia was near the South Pole, 100 million years ago. The heart of their tale is the long, hard, work of excavating fossil deposits along the wave-battered coast... The hard work brought both discoveries and camaraderie, plus tales to be told around the campfire ... "--New Scientist, 11 November 2000 " ... this book shoul appeal not only to a large number of 'dinosaur groupies', but also to those interested in exploration and discovery."--The Palaeontological Association Newsletter, Number 47, 2001
