Volcano Dreaming
Julie McHale - aboriginal elder and Gary Gibson - seismologist
This session is jointly held by Rocket Science and Words in Winter. There will be a $5 admission charge.
Looking south from Newstead, especially around Clunes, you will see many of the hump-like hills that are clearly extinct volcanoes.
This is part of a volcanic region that stretches from Geelong to Mount Gambier and is unusually "young" in the geological sense. So young - the most recent eruption was 4000 years ago - that the aboriginal locals saw "the mountains fighting"
In this session Julie and Gary will interweave stories about these events from two, very different, points of view.
Wine and coffee from Julia and Ron
