Diprotodon Drive, Tambar Springs

In 1987, Tambar Springs farmer Louise Friss made the rare discovery

of bones from an extinct herbivorous marsupial, identified as a

'Diprotodon'. This specimen was dated approximately 33,500

years old. To celebrate the community established the Diprotodon

Drive. Diprotodon sculptures made of corrugated iron and sheet

metal lead the way to a discovery trip through Tambar Springs,

pointing out landmarks and important historic features.
