We’ve trailed dinosaurs across the American West and searched out the saurians of South America, but nothing can prepare you for the strange beasts of the Outback! The dinosaurs down under are of a much meaner variety. You’ll have to beware of cattle chomping Burrunjors in the bush and beastly bunyips hiding in the billabongs. You'll also trek into the wilds of New Guinea where you'll have to narrowly avoid being trampled by titanic sauropods in the swamps and devil-pigs in the mountains. And, as if the dinosaurs weren’t bad enough, you'll also have to look out for a variety of fearsome marsupials such as the Thylacine and the Queensland Tiger. After reading this book, you’ll ask yourself: Was a tyrannosaurus rex responsible for an epidemic of cattle killings in the 1950s? Was the dreaded Euroa Beast related to the Liverpool Monster and the mysterious Kumi lizard of New Zealand? Were “giant rabbits” spotted by gold prospectors on the mainland really just enormous kangaroos? How much truth is there to a sensationalized newspaper story about Captain Monckton combating a gigantic diprotodon? Is the backwards footed Bigfoot-like Yowie really just another of Australia’s giant marsupials rather than an ape? Do Australian dinosaurs slip in and out of the Dreamtime, traversing back and forth between today and the prehistoric past somehow? Do Megalodon sharks still swim the coastal waters? And, finally, just what exactly is the Bunyip?
