Significance of Geology and Landscape in Natural Heritage – Historical Perspectives
“Geology teaches us that the surface of land and the distribution of land and water is everywhere slowly changing. It further teaches us that the forms of life which inhabit that surface have, during every period of which we possess any record, been also slowly changing.” Alfred Russel Wallace The Malay Archipelago. p 21 Oxford Press, 1869.
“Everyone interested in countryside, how it has taken shape, why it presents us with the varied beauties of mountain and woodland, river valleys and fertile meadows, is, if often unconsciously, appreciating its geology”. A.E. Trueman, Professor of Geology, Glascow University, 1938.

-
“I’ve just returned to Sydney after a trip with my wife down the NSW south coast. we came across your geological guide on the internet by accident, and subsequently got one of your maps with the geological info included.
we want to congratulate you for this excellent initiative, which has really made the fascinating geology of this part of the world more accessible. Neither of us are geologists or scientists, and we have often lamented our lack of understanding when looking at some of the amazing landforms we see on our travels. your maps were of great assistance. it was interesting to see that at several of the sites listed, there were other people looking for or at the formations – something we have not noticed before, and i suspect that it is thanks to your maps.We hope that this is something you will be able to extend to other areas as well, and are looking forward to our next expedition”
