Esk Basin sequences in the headwaters of the Brisbane and Stanley Rivers, southeast Queensland
Following on from the successful 2017 Field Day to the southern parts of the Esk Basin, Members of the Queensland Division have organised this year’s Field Day to discover the stratigraphic diversity of the northern part of the Esk Basin.
This event will take members to the more remote parts of the basin, to exposures occurring in the rugged headwaters of both the Brisbane and Stanley Rivers where the public rarely venture. In some places you can jump across the Brisbane River. This beautiful countryside is enhanced by amazing exposures of the stratigraphy. It is a place where geologists can debate the origins of the strata, stages of structural deformation and magmatic events that have shaped and modified the landscape.
A new geological leaflet on this part of the Basin will be released on the Field Day.
Your guides for the Field Day will be Bill D’Arcy, George Winter and Joe Gough
