Bindi Lee Porth， 37， was at Cable Beach， a popular tourist destination in the Western Australian town of Broome.
Broome is known for a 130-million-yearold set of dinosaur footprints which were found along its coastline.
But fossilised footprints like this were not previously known to exist in the main tourist area of Cable Beach.
Ms Porth says she did not believe the prints were real when she first saw them.
"I thought no， they couldn’t have been real because there’d be signs or some sort of notification to let people know these prints are here，" she told ABC Australia.
Ms Porth had been collecting sea shells and walking around a big pile of rocks when she said she felt an"amazing sense of energy" coming from under her right foot.
"I lifted my foot up and found a bit of an indent in the sand. I got my toes and swished around and it washed away to show a beautiful dinosaur footprint，" she told the BBC.
Ms Porth， who has been living in Broome for two years， had previously walked the area more than a hundred times.
She found six prints in total， with the prints believed to come from two different dinosaurs according to palaeontologists."I’ve been speaking non-stop to two palaeontologists since I found the prints and they say they’re very impressed because they definitely look like dinosaur footprints."
She added that it was an "amazing experience" to stand in the footprint of a creature 130 million years old.
