Talk | Transformations

The present environment of the Northern Territory has two separate climates ‒ one dominated by water during the ‘Wet’ season, and one dominated by the unrelenting sun during the ‘Dry’ season.

Join MAGNT Curator Emeritus of Molluscs, Dr Richard Willan, to explore one of MAGNT’s best-loved permanent galleries, the Natural Science Gallery

Suitable for ages 16+ | Free | Bookings recommended
