Overview

The Geology Garden provides a practical landscape with the benefit for students that it is ideal for relaxing in sunshine or studying between tutorials, but has the added bonus of being a purpose-built space designed to provide a hands-on learning experience for the Geology Department’s students and teachers. It is the first of its kind in Australia and also the most comprehensive worldwide. Under the instruction of the Heads of the Geology Department and working closely with the Principal and Michael Wright from Rush/Wright Associates, our highly-skilled team placed each rock to capture the appropriate levels of both sunlight and shade, highlighting each individual rock type’s geological and geomorphological aspects.
