"It was a fun accolade," Bill said. "It was unusual, but reflects appreciation for lectures in a subject that students find interesting and relevant in today's changing world, especially Queensland."

For any interested ‘rock hounds' out there - Bill will be hosting a geology workshop/guided walk at Double Head, near Rosslyn Bay Harbour this Sunday, June 15. For details call the EPA Rockhampton Office on 4936 0511.
