There are lots of nice picnic places on Hamilton Island. Most of them have garden areas around them, with all sorts of tropical stuff growing there. This fern tree is in the garden area near the big duckpond (you can read about that in one of my older postings). Now, I know from watching TV that dinosaurs ate this sort of tree, and if the tree has somehow managed to survive it may just be possible that there is a hungry dino out there somewhere as well. Scruffy, Milkshake and I have never seen a real dinosaur so we decided to try and catch one. We climbed up into the tree, near the little seed pods, and waited for one to come for a feed. We weren't scared because we know that plant-eaters don't eat small animals if they can help it. If one came, we were going to grab it by the head and lead it home and keep it for a pet, but although we waited for hours no dino came. Maybe they are really extinct after all.
