Excursion

The secret life of crystals and minerals

Sunday July 20th 10:00 am

This hands-on workshop is intended for beginners or for those who did Mineralogy 201 or its equivalent many years ago and find that they have forgotten practically everything. We will start with a short talk and practical demonstrations to show how crystals and crystalline materials are constructed, then proceed to practical studies of actual crystals, crystal growth, fluoescence and biferingence.

Mysteries Down Under: the Caves of the Flinders Ranges

Thursday 7th of August 2025 at 7.00 pm

Caves naturally act as time capsules that contain and preserve plant and animal remains of cave inhabitants or specimens that have washed or fallen in from the surface. Fossils and sub fossils found within many of the 350+ known caves of the Flinders Ranges show flourishing and diminishing animal and plant species over time, reflect the nature of climatic variation, and in some cases the effect of human incursion into these underground worlds.
