(OK, I know this isn't so relevant to someone in Australia, but 
Distribution: vancouver doesn't work too well. Besides, the URL is good
anywhere.)

We've just been to the Dinosaur World Tour (in Vancouver, Canada till
Sept 4, then off to Singapore, I believe). If you're into dinosaurs,
or you've got kids who are, you've got to see this. Several new species of
dinosaur from the Gobi desert, one of the most complete T.Rex skeletons
in the world, hands-on exhibits, videos and a T.Rex show for kids.
And the gift shop from Jurassic Park the movie! Advance timed ticketing 
prevents a big squeeze inside, and there are enough staff available
to answer questions. I thought the videos well done, though occasionally
there wasn't enough compression on the audio (loud bits followed by
segments inaudible over the background noise). It isn't a complete
dinosaur education in 4 hours, though, but if you've read some books
then the videos and physical exhibits are going to make a lot more sense.
If you haven't, never mind, it's still well put-together and entertaining.

See http://www.fleethouse.com/dinosaur/dino.htm
or go see it at the PNE (tickets from Ticketmaster).
