Great work! That is the kind of info that are meant to be shared around the net. Disgrace on search engines for not positioning this submit higher! Come on over and seek advice from my site . Thanks =) N/A
Nice blog post, David. Great way to teach structural geology to the next generation of geologists #thumbsup
Hi do I need get permission to go to Mullbring Quarry,if so who do I call etc Thanks
Hi David, My daughter is also interested in finding fossils. We've been to the Swansea Head one, it's great. But we are not sure about the address in Mulbring. Could you please pass the address to us? Can the public access Mulbring? Thanks heaps in advance. Eleanor
Mulbring quarry is easily accessible. https://goo.gl/09p9X1 Swansea, is the rock platform, so even easier at low tide. You can see fossilized tree trunks... Have fun with the boys
