Abstract: When the National Rock Garden was officially launched in 2010 at the Australian Earth Sciences Convention in Canberra, it seemed a straightforward task to bring in a bunch of rocks from all around the country and tell the story of Australian geology. Are we there yet? Not quite, but the thrill of the chase remains as we build our national collection of 100 or more iconic rocks. In this presentation, Brad will reveal some of the great rocks we already have and some that we don’t have (but would like to have).
