UPDATE: MARCH 3rd 2015, Jeff has been burnt due to faulty electronics (This article below is a good read, Palmer is one mighty funny fellow!)
Clive Palmer, mining magnate (worth a net worth of 8 billion) recently acquired the golf course/resort at Coolum and aptly re-named it ‘Palmer Coolum Resort’ :) His new venture for the resort is adding 165 animatronic dinosaurs with Jeff the T-rex being the first. Jeff is impressive but with Dinosaurs being a grey area in regards to considering them 'Big Things' I'm left wondering if he deserves to be added to the list! I think all you need to know is Jeff is rad and well worth the visit. Unfortunately though I didn’t see him move (animatronics to come??) but I did spy one other dinosaur “bones” which as you may of guessed is a skeleton of an Omeisaurus (brontosaurus looking thing) - seen below!
I’ll try and add more dino pictures as the park continues to grow!

Drive in the front gate of the resort and follow the signs to the visitors carpark, as you’re driving in you’ll cross a pond and if you look closely you’ll see Jeff standing tall! (1 minute drive to the carpark and a five minute walk to jeff)
