Webinar:The National Rock Garden – Celebrating the Geological History of Australia

Rocks make Australia’s iconic landscapes and the evolution of life is documented in rocks through the fossils they contain. During this webinar we will describe some of the rocks being considered for inclusion in the National Rock Garden.

If you had to choose 100 rocks to tell the story of Australia and its people – which rocks would you choose?

Australian rock stories encompass more than mining and energy resources. Rocks make Australia’s iconic landscapes and the evolution of life is documented in rocks through the fossils they contain. Rocks also make soil and some rocks are incredibly beautiful.

In this talk Prof Brad Pillans will describe some of the rocks we are considering for display in the National Rock Garden and seek suggestions for others.
