Archaeologists from Sydney University travel to Cuddie Springs annually to work on the site and investigate the areas prehistory. “Digging down into a dry lake bed you’d never guess that you’re about to encounter one of the most extraordinary animal graveyards in the world” (Judith Furby, School of Archaeology Sydney University).
