Young writers inspired by the bones and stones of the Somerville Collection.

The Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum in Bathurst NSW is the home of the Somerville Collection and Australia’s only complete T.rex skeleton is also the home of the Dead Bones Society.

Young writers aged 9-14 attend regular writing workshops with professional authors in the eerie atmosphere of the museum after dark.

Guided by author Paul Stafford, Charles Sturt University student mentors, musuem staff and volunteers young writers weave a series of funny, spooky, weird and wild action packed stories about science, fiction and the realms of possibilities in between.

This project is funded by Arts NSW and Bathurst Regional Council.
