Seeking 'Gary' Gastropod in Burnie

Join Peter Manchester, one of Adult Education's most popular tutors at the Burnie Library this Wednesday 8th February at 1200 for a FREE talk on fossils.

The talk is a prelude to Peter's new Adult Education course Seeking 'Gary' Gastropod - all about how to search for fossils in the laboratory and landscape of Burnie & surrounds. Peter is a well known lecturer/consultant in geology and a former Head of Photography and Multimedia at colleges and the university in Launceston.

Peter is running several other courses this Autumn including Sailing the Geological Soup - a trip around Macquarie Harbour and surrounding coastal areas, The Abt Geological Express and Woolnorth - Geologically 2nd to none!

The talk will run for about an hour and everyone is welcome.
