5:06Now PlayingThirty years after 4,000 pristine fish fossils dating back 360 million years were discovered in regional NSW, a retired doctor is reopening the dig in the hope of finding the first animals to walk on land.
Originally led by palaeontologist Alex Ritchie in 1993, the site by the side of an unassuming bend in the road just outside of Canowindra became one of Australia's most important fossil digs.
Mr Ritchie always dreamed of extending the dig to the surrounding area, and now his wish might come true after a retired doctor purchased the neighbouring farm in the hopes of finding the first walking fish.
