This is from an event over the weekend at the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australian</a> Parliament House Open Day (to mark 35 years since the opening). Geoscience Australia were invited to tell the stories of the beautiful architectural <a href="https://aus.social/tags/stone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stone</a> from around the world used in the design of the building (see examples in the picture). We also threw in some local rocks and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fossils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fossils</a> and some of our awesome interactive tubs. It was a busy day but always interesting to talk to the public. Big thanks to the GA and APH organisers for a great day!
