Everyone knows you have to watch out for sharks on Australian beaches – but what about dinosaurs?

A 130-million year old dinosaur footprint has been found among the seaweed and surf on popular Cable Beach near the town of Broome, Western Australia.

Bindi Lee Porth said she was collecting seashells when she felt an indent in the sand.

Clearing it away, she found a number of massive, preserved footprints.

Charming lass. I think it’s safe to say that those aren’t her footprints ...

Looks like she’s been tracking the wild hildebeeste. Or perhaps the moose-chelle.

You are an amateur dinosaur footprint hobbyist, right?

Massive? That doesn’t seem like a very large footprint. Her feet look small, so I’m guessing she wears a size 7-8. That would make the dinosaur print maybe a men’s size 15?

“...130-Million Year Old Dinosaur Prints”

I’ll be concerned when they’re *fresh*.

Assuming that is a dinosaur footprint, it looks like there’s another one in the NE direction in the picture, pointed the opposite way.

Are they sure it's a very old print? Or could Godzilla be somewhere around?

(She's nice! Took me a while to find the dino print.)

So how popular is this beach if it took people this long to find something that obvious?
