PESA SA Field Trip

GEOLOGY OF THE ADELAIDE HILLS. IT’S BEEN THERE
FOR HALF A BILLION YEARS! WHY DIDN’T ANYONE
TELL ME!?

led by David Grybowski

Sunday 24th May 2026 9am to ~3pm

Frustrated driving through the Adelaide Hills and still not understanding the Geology?

This excursion will familiarize participants with the geological formations, folds and faults of the Adelaide Hills by orientating the outcrop and faults with the road network and geomorphology. We will go up gullies and gorges from Montecute Road to Morialta to Chambers Gully via Mt Lofty, where we’ll have a BYO lunch.

Logistics

This is a self-drive field trip (carpooling required). There will be 6 stops and 8 drive-by points of interest where stopping is not possible due to limited parking. We will meet at 9:00 am at Morialta Conservation Park (Stradbroke Road car park) and return at approximately 3:00 pm. Optional post-trip drinks (self-funded) at the Tower Hotel. On-board geological commentary will be provided, and detailed instructions and excursion notes will be sent to registered participants.
