Williamstown Historical Society History Talk

Do you know that the Williamstown railway line accidentally follows the deeply buried course of an ancient river?
Do you know what a ‘lateral stream’ is?
Do you know that the growth of the New Zealand Alps has made living in Williamstown possible?
Do you hate volcanoes?
Does thinking about time in terms of millions of years seem ridiculous to you?
Do you know that the whole of Williamstown lies over 10 metres north of where it was when its first streets were surveyed?

If you’ve answered “No!???!” to any of these questions then you’ll probably enjoy this talk.   

Presented by Ross Cayley (Senior Geologist); Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
