Coming Back From Extinction

A giant fibreglass dinosaur called Big Kev has escaped extinction – much to the delight of the local community. The future of Big Kev, a brachiosaurus that had guarded a landscaping supplies store outside Darwin since 2007, was in jeopardy as the store moved to make way for a hardware outlet. The 18-metre tall model of the leaf-eater lay in bits and pieces for a year until Jurassic Park fan and site supervisor Rory Milner and his team reassembled it. “The boys struggled for a few days but they got there in the end,” he told the media. “We had to move the legs a few times.”
