Tunnels in Time, by Lyndall Dawson, tells stories of the fossil bones of giant animals found in caves, lake beds and riverbeds across Australia. These bones fascinated ‘natural philosophers’ of the past and continue to stimulate intense scientific debate today.

This work provides a deeper historical context to current conversations about climate change and extinction of Australia's native fauna. It brings together the story of 200 years of discovery and research, and discusses how past climates and the arrival of humans have impacted on ecosystems on this continent.

Featured sites include Cuddie Springs, a highly significant archaeological site in Walgett Shire, western NSW.
