Cinnamon Melling's two children are "obsessed" with dinosaurs, so she took them to Inverloch in Victoria's Bass Coast region to learn about the area's prehistoric heritage.
"They got to see the first dinosaur fossil in Australia. That was amazing, I didn't even know that existed," she said, referring to a specimen displayed at the Bunurong Environment Centre.
The education session Ms Melling and her children attended was organised by the environment centre, and included a trip to a site examined by palaeontologists over decades.
