In a place called Winton deep in the the Australian outback, smack bang in the middle of north Queensland and eleven kilometres from the nearest highway, sits a rather isolated and peculiar building. Founded by cattle station owner David Elliot and his wife Judy, the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum houses a collection of 99-million-year-old dinosaur skeletons that David found beneath his land. Since being bitten by the paleontology bug, the couple have handed over the running of the cattle station to their son in order to dedicate their time solely to discovering, conserving and displaying the fossils. Their museum is entirely self-funded and was designed by Cox Architecture pro-bono. p (ltv)
