What two dinosaurs are in Australia?

One of the most known Australian Dinosaurs is theMuttaburrasaurus this dinosaur had an unusual resonating chamber on its nose and could possibly emit a loud trumpet like sound. The Muttaburrasaurus was about 2.4 metres high at the shoulder and about 7 to 8 metres long, and lived about 120 years ago and was a vegetarian. The Muttaburrasaurus was named after the small town where it was found in Queensland. The second Dinosaur was the Minmi Paravertebra, this dinosaur was a well armoured dinosaur with spikes all along his back and sides and even on his tail which prevented an animal from jumping on his back to attack him. The Minmi was 3 metres long and even though it was so well protected with armor it was still quite fast. Remains were found at Minmi Crossing in Roma Queensland.
