Hi Winston
Love to be there, but prior commitments. As you go around, could you keep an eye out for a low rock outcrop showing signs of having been dug out? There was a place I visited there 25 or more years ago and we were able to find a lot of fossils in the mudstone. I was part of a group, and I had no map to record the locality, all I remember is that the track was reasonably steep and the outcrop was on the left side as we climbed the hill. I plan to trip out there in the next few weeks myself to see if I can recognise the spot. Have a great day!

Yes, I know, asking you to look for rocky bit in Mt Disappointment!! But I though I'd ask anyway. Maybe someone else even knows the spot.

Hi guys, I finally got round to downloading some GoPro footage. It's not the best, but if you're bored and have 9 minutes, go for gold.
