I'm not aware of any. There is Rob Farver's site (which you mentioned),
which has a few Duplo pages,
http://www.farver.com/lego/duplo_train_station.htm
http://www.farver.com/lego/duplo.htm
http://www.farver.com/lego/duplo_rider.htm
but it sure is rare indeed to see a Duplo site. Rob's train station is
*quite* good, isn't it!

All right!!

I'm not a big Duplo fan, but I do have immense amounts of respect for it
(and far more than Town Jr. or Belville or Scala). My primary interest is
Space and Aquazone, but I have a soft spot for the Duplo Dinosaurs sets.
Not sure why -- I guess it's the colors and the shapes and the way it
reminds me of The Flintstones. I love the baby Tricerotops too.
If ever there is a minifig-scale dino theme someday, I hope it's as well
done as the Duplo dino sets.
BTW, have you seen this year's new blue-purple color? There's a new blue-
purple T-Rex dinosaur with yellow spots:

It's a bit dark, but it looked too pastel with brighter lighting.
