In-Person and Livestream Tech Talk: Bunbury Anthropology – A Geologist's Perspective at the "speed of light"

Bunbury and Western Australia inherit their place and character from nearly four billion years of :history.  Why are they here, how did they get here, and what lies around and beneath?

Hear a brief overview of the State’s and Bunbury's geological background and the geological reason why the city is here.

130 million years ago, as India was separating from the last remnant of East Gondwana, basalt lava erupting from volcanoes flowed along river valleys northward towards the then-existing ocean, and it passed where Bunbury now lies.

With over five decades of experience in geology and decades of geological interpretation for the public, speaker Michael Freeman invites all to explore the geological formation of WA and Bunbury, and invites you to consider this region as your next travel experience (and, in the future, the Nannup WA Geopark in the southern part of the Bunbury Basalt paleoflow complex).
