The Geology of Williamstown and surrounds

May 23 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Presented by: Ross Cayley, Senior Geologist (Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action)
Williamstown Historical Society – History presentations
Did you know that the Williamstown Railway Line accidentally follows the deeply buried course of an ancient river, or what a ‘lateral stream’ is?
– Do you know that the growth of the New Zealand Alps has made living in Williamstown possible?
– Do you hate volcanoes?
– Does thinking about time in terms of millions of years seem ridiculous to you?
– Did you know that the whole of Williamstown lies over 10 metres north of where it was when its first streets were surveyed?
If you’ve answered “No” to any of these questions then you’ll probably enjoy this talk!
