These footprints were found in a dry lake bed in Western Victoria. The giant marsupial Diprotodon, along with wombats and kangaroos, left tracks as they walked across soft volcanic mud about 100 000 years ago. These tracks were moulded and cast by museum preparators to record the tracks for display and scientific study.
