Lecture

“Everything You Always Wanted to Know About GeoRegions* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)”
Thursday 3rd October 2024 Time: 7:00 pm.

In 2023 the Directors of Stage Geological Surveys rejected the concept of Geoparks in Australia, but recommended "communicating the concept of a GeoRegion". However, there is considerable interest in Australia re-joining the Geopark movement. In 2021 the Australian Geoparks Network was formalised with reps. from every State. It is working to allay concerns about Geoparks and aspires to reestablish interest in Geopark development in Australia.
