A geological field guide unlike any other, the Victorian Geology Excursion Guide charts a comprehensive course through the remarkable and varied rock formations, landforms, and geological history of the state of Victoria, Australia. Edited by Ian Clark, Barry Cook, and G.C. Cochrane, this authoritative volume presents a series of carefully planned excursions that guide readers — from students to seasoned geoscientists — across Victoria's diverse geological terrain, from its ancient Precambrian basement rocks to its more recent volcanic plains and coastal formations. Each excursion details specific field localities, instructs readers on key geological features to observe, and provides the scientific context necessary to interpret the landscape with confidence and precision. Published under the joint auspices of the Australian Academy of Science and the Geological Society of Australia (Victorian Division), this guide carries the weight of institutional expertise and rigorous scientific scholarship. It stands as an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the deep-time processes that have shaped one of Australia's most geologically complex and fascinating regions. Whether used in the field or studied from an armchair, the Victorian Geology Excursion Guide opens a window onto billions of years of Earth history — and leaves the reader wondering what other secrets Victoria's ancient rocks have yet to yield.
