A Western Australian Museum palaeontology team is recovering several rare and nearly complete Diprotodon skeletons at Du Boulay Creek, 100km south-west of Karratha.
The fossil site lies within the Fortescue River floodplain. Diprotodon fossils were first recovered from the site in 1991; one of these is now on display at the WA Museum Boola Bardip.
