A fun and dynamic look at what life would be like for dinosaurs if they were roaming the Broome coastline today. Reflecting the famous colours of north west Australia and its rugged environment, the textured collage layers of artwork capture the character and beauty of the dinosaurs, birds, and marine life that roamed the Kimberley coastline more than 130 million years ago. Houston has based the story on facts, identifying the actual species of dinosaurs which inhabited the coastline around Broome millions of years ago. Reflecting on her own childhood, she recalls large imprints in rocks, which she learned later were originally created by sauropods during the Cretaceous period.

Bronwyn Houston is descended from the Nyiyaparli and Yindjiparndi people of the Wana clan in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Bronwyn was born and bred in Broome and draws her inspiration from the natural world she knows and loves.
