Riversleigh Fossil Site

This is a world heritage site due its ancient mammal fossils. More importantly it was our morning tea stop.  

The pancake rocks of Cambrian marine limestone were also unusual.  We saw various fossils embedded in the rocks and then a couple of busloads of other fossils arrived.  It was time to move on.
