ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA, November 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) An exhibition charting the rise and fall of dinosaurs is coming to Adelaide and will run throughout next month.
Dinosaurs Alive will open at the city's Event and Exhibition Centre on November 20th 2010 and will remain at the venue until January 21st 2011, only closing on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
The A$3.5 million display sees the ancient creatures brought to life through the use of animatronics, which is sure to make for an exciting experience for anyone heading to the installation from some of the cheap hotels Adelaide has available.
Eight different dinosaurs - the Velociraptor, Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Gasosaurus, Huayangosaurus, Spinosaurus, Proceratops and the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex - have been recreated by the organisers.
However, the event is much more than just a visual treat - it is also a useful learning experience, featuring a vast array of information on subjects such as climate change, Australian flora and fauna, extinction theories and fossils.
Meanwhile, would-be archaeologists can try their hand at digging their own fossils in the activity room.
"It's the must see attraction this summer," the organisers remarked.
Admission costs A$18 for adults and A$13 for five to 14-year-olds, although family passes are available for A$55.
The exhibition is open each day from 09:30 to 17:00 local time.
For more information on this display, visit the Adelaide Event and Exhibition Centre website or contact the organisers on (+61) 8 6420 2038.

2010-11-19
On October 25, a very large tsunami pounded several of the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra. An earthquake that struck just south of the small island with a magnitude of 7.2 was the cause.

The wave killed at least 300 people, while more than 400 are still missing, and hundreds were seriously injured. Those who are left behind ...
Gulf Oil Rig Disaster
2010-11-19
Injury attorneys are sometimes compared to the Knights of the Round Table, who fought for the weak and the underdogs. The explosion of a BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico last month looks to provide a worthy jousting match.
The catastrophe that apparently killed 11 workers and caused millions of gallons of oil to spill into U.S. coastal waters horrified the world. While responsibility for the tragedy remains a subject of debate, its impact is not. The ultimate costs have been estimated anywhere from $2 billion to $14 billion.
Who Has Been Affected by the BP Oil Disaster?

To pull you over for suspected DUI, the police first must have probable cause to do so. In practical terms, this usually happens when the police witness you breaking a traffic law, like speeding or driving well below the speed limit, weaving in and out ...
