Re: identifying rocks
I have found this good, I can't remember where I found it in the first place, it's saved in my favourites.
It is a bit time consuming but it asks questions and describes the rocks as you work your way through and has pictures of the rocks.

Re: identifying rocks
I used google images and a powerpoint file that Liz from Tamworth gave me, when I did a lot of rocks late last year. I have tried to attach the file but won't work, maybe its too big - don't know. So if you could give me your email address I could try that way. Cheers

Re: identifying rocks
I have just tried to send it by direct email but will not send, saying the file is too big. The one I have is no doubt the same as Noona's. Maybe she will have more luck. If you don't get it from her, let me know and I will try from home. Interesting really, because I received it as an email from Liz and we are all at state high schools.
Re: identifying rocks

Re: identifying rocks
Sorry Darelle and Rosalie, I've been off sick for 1 week (shingles), and doc won't let me go back for another week. At least tonight I'm up to checking out what you've all been up to!
LOL!! Won't get through all the posts tonight, so will be on again before going btw next Tuesday. Lots to read, goody goody
while I get better.
Dime, my info came from doing the rocks session at St Marys a year or two back, so it's the same as Noona's.
Noona, thanks for the accommodation info for St Marys. That'll be something to discuss at our next local get together. Not sure it'll be 'my turn' to go this year,
especially as I've had such a good run of attending, although would really love the chance to see your school too!
Cheers, Liz
