For more information and a booking form, call Jenny or Gerry at the Monash Science Centre. The Dinosaur Club was started by the Museum of WA and grew like Topsy- whoever Topsy was. The staff decided to franchise out the members to the various states and we got Victoria. The magazine gives all the latest information about the world of dinosaurs via the current research that is carried out by WA museum staff and their colleagues around the world. For that you get a starter kit when you join, containing information and activity material, a numbered certificate plus the latest issue of Dinonews plus another Dinonews later in the year.
Back issues are available.
For membership, phone the Monash Science Centre. The Monash Science Centre can offer you access to palaeontology lectures either as a one off lecture or the complete course. The lectures are quite specialised but some could be very valuable in building up background information in certain topic areas taught in secondary schools e.g. Plate Tectonics. Topics of general interest could be The History of Vertebrate Palaeontology in Australia and The Fish- amphibian Transition to name just a few. If you are interested in more information, call the Monash Science Centre.
