ROCKS & LANDSCAPES NOTES

Rocks and Landscape Notes are short leaflets describing the geological origins of some of the more scenic areas of Queensland. We hope to get them all on the website eventually.
There is also the Brief Background series. See below for a full listing of those currently available. In the past, some of these files had problems with the text at the bottom of the pages but these have all now been fixed.
