Newcastle Time Walk – volcanoes, coal & fossils


aig_cpdhrs_03The NSW Geological Survey is hosting a “Newcastle Time Walk” on 20th August 2016.

Participants will have the chance to be field geologists and explore the history of Newcastle’s landscapes. Rocks of the area tell us much about past climates and environments. Each site feeds into a better understanding of how the Earth and local landscapes have evolved over the last 300 million years.

We will stroll along Bathers Way for about 3 km, from Nobbys Head to Newcastle south, visiting spectacular geological features with evidence of volcanoes, changing sea levels and remnants of 250 million year old forests and swamps.

Supported by the Hunter Science Hub and the Inspiring Australia initiative.
