Palaeontologists uncover giant kangaroo at north Queensland mine site


It is not uncommon to unearth valuable objects on mine sites, but it is extremely rare to discover the bones of the world's tallest kangaroo.

Palaeontologists have potentially uncovered a new giant species of kangaroo in north Queensland.

A mine west of Mackay, in north Queensland, initially came to the attention of palaeontologists back in 2008 when traditional owners discovered an unusual bone.
