Originally posted to the ABC Kimberly Facebook page, a recounts the moment when an Australian woman stumbled across a hectic dinosaur footprint on a West Australian beach. Bindi Lee Porth was strolling along Cable Beach, as many-a tourist lapped up the setting sun over the Indian Ocean, when she literally stumbled across the giantic footprint -- the kind some palaeontologists will search for their whole lives to discover.

Porth spoke with ABC Local Radio saying "I went to put my foot down, and the best way that I could describe it is that I felt a very strong energy." A dinosaur energy!

Palaeontologist Dr Steve Salisbury, who has been at the forefront of studies into dinosaur footprints along the Broome coast, told the ABC "This is a very exciting development; having someone beach-combing to come along tracks like this, this is what makes the Broome area and the dinosaur coast so special."
