DINOSAUR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE It is said that the oldest dinosaur nesting site was discovered in the Free State’s Golden Gate Highlands National Park when, a few years ago, palaeontologists found 10 nests containing 34 eggs and skeletons which are thought to be over 190 million years old. With a new species of giant dinosaur also recently being found nearby, the area’s Jurassic roots are now being immortalised with a dedicated dinosaur

education centre in the National Park, near Clarens.
