Doyouthinkhesaurus?

A Dryosaurus dinosaur nonchalantly walks across a busy inner city intersection outside the Australian Museum in Sydney on Thursday.

The human-operated puppet of the 150 million year old herbivorous beast surfaced from the museum on a traffic stopping stroll around Sydney’s Hyde Park promoting an upcoming live theatre performance.

The 12 day performance is entitled Gondwana — Land of the Giants!

Experience Australia’s astounding prehistoric creatures and land brought to life with full body puppets. Discover giant dinosaurs, insects, indigenous plants, and mammals accompanied by evocative soundscapes, and large projections.

Enjoy this awe-inspiring journey with land masses that change shape and flesh-eating dinosaurs nesting, feeding and fighting for survival. Performed by the world acclaimed Erth Theatre Company and based on scientific understandings of Australia’s origins. This atmospheric theatre performance promises to be a thrill seeking journey.

The performance starts Monday July 2 2007 through to Friday July 13 2007. Check out the museum’s website for further details.
