We will be looking at several sites around the park, including the area around the now disused barite mine, and considering aspects of our industrial geological heritage.
We will continue our exploration of Glen Lednock and will visit the Comrie pluton to examine the igneous rocks themselves and their contact relations with the country rocks.
We will examine Devonian volcanic and sedimentary rocks (perhaps including the source of the Stone of Destiny) and look at a variety of building stones in Perth City.
