Unconformity - National Science Week Geology tour at Parliament House

Two people using a torch to look at a large rock

Overview

Join an expert geologist from Geoscience Australia on this fascinating tour beneath Australian Parliament House. You will get the chance to explore the phenomenon called an 'Unconformity' – an ancient rock formation where two rock masses, made millions of years apart, have joined. It is a fascinating piece of the puzzle that helps to understand the Earth in the Canberra region.

This tour only runs twice a year, so don't miss the rare opportunity to see this unique geological formation.
