Title: geol20001
Post by: Inside Out on January 03, 2016, 10:47:33 pm
Has anyone done Geology of Southeast Australia? It's a 6 day field trip subject to the surf coast in February, which sounds like fun to me.  Is it any good/hard?
Thanks!

I haven't done it but I've spoken to people who have and they gave positive reviews and said despite it being a 2nd year subject the coordinators don't expect you to have much experience with Geology so I imagine it wouldn't be too hard. I've been on a geology field trip before and enjoyed it. It gives you a chance to make new friends, go to places you may not otherwise go and spend some time outdoors. If you like hands on work (mapping, sketching) there is plenty of that. Plus it's 6 days of 'class' instead of 12 weeks and you still get 12.5 credit points!
