Research from the Walmadany (James Price Point) area documents dinosaur tracks preserved in 130-million-year-old Broome Sandstone, including giant sauropod footprints up to 1.75 metres long, so large that a grown adult can stand inside them. They appear and disappear with tides, shifting sands, and storms – revealed for short windows before the ocean covers them again. Scientists documented an astonishing 21 distinct dinosaur track types, making this the most diverse dinosaur footprint site recorded worldwide. The result is a rare kind of heritage site: one that records both deep geological time and continuous human custodianship. A Conservation Win That Changed HistoryThe Walmadany area is home to the world’s largest dinosaur tracks.
