Why do the same striking rock layers appear at both the Gap and Simpsons Gap but very different rocks in between? How did Standley Chasm become such a step, narrow slice through the range? What makes rainbow valley so colourful? Why do the rocks repeat themselves along the Owen Springs track?
If you’ve ever asked questions like these while exploring the landscapes around Alice Springs, you’re not alone and geology holds many of the answers!
Annet Weisheit will take us on a journey through some of Central Australia’s most iconic locations, exploring how ancient forces shaped the dramatic scenery we see today.
When: Wednesday 8th of October, 7pm
Where: Olive Pink Botanic Gardens
