Alcoota Scientific Reserve

Red Center

Northern Territory, Australia

14th July to the 20th of July 2022

The Basin between an un-named range and the Harts Range, a possible paleo-river channel with an extensive megafauna fossil site from 8 million years ago.

Temperatures dropped to 0 overnight, felt like -5 some mornings, by mid afternoon temperatures had reached around 28 Celsius.

We always had the fires going in the mornings and afternoons for tea and to cook over each night.

We went up “Cow Pat Hill” on multiple occasions to view the sunset and sunrise, brought our drinks up there as well one night.

Spent a lot of nights star gazing as there was virtually no light pollution this far out in the Northern Territory, I had never seen the Milky Way that bright before even in the Flinders Ranges but that was mainly due to the moon.

Days stayed clear of cloud cover and we were working in the pits from 8 to 5 roughly most days, I ended up getting a lot of amazing fossils out from this site. Everything collected here has gone with the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory for research.
