The content is designed to be easy to digest and covers a wide range of topics, not only focusing on geology but occasionally exploring other scientific areas as well.
Thank you so much my friend. You and Randall Carlson , a prof from Central Washington University in the US have created another geology nerd (your choice) and yet so much more. I live in Ottawa Canada, and now look at the land so much differently.
This due not just to the subject matter but your presentation of it.
. My appreciation of the landscape has grown exponentially. This has given an idle mind, which had become problematic, an outlet. I cannot thank you enough. Though we may never meet, you should know a perhaps intended effect you have had.
Thank You again
I had no idea I was fascinated by geology like I am, until I found exactly these two guys lol
The teacher from central Washington u is nick zentner. Randal carlson is from Atlanta GA and is a builder geologic history and mathematics are his avocation
@@jeffbybee5207
Randal Carlson is so interesting
One of my favourite channels. Thank you for your efforts.
When I worked with WMC we contracted for Brat goldfields we drilled at the top of bakery hill
Around 900 m deep and took cores from that depth of timber from the shaft and was told that they had no idea of where most of the shafts were and how deep they were
Love your show
Always watch and like, ever since the algo presented me with your Burckle Crater series. Thanks!
My wife said that if I reach the point where "sinking the shaft deeper" immediately evokes talk of horsts and grabens in Victoria's geology then she's taking me for therapy.
As well she should!
@@nadsenoj8719 She has a completely irreverent, mischievous sense of humour. We have a lot of fun together.
Omg, hilarious! You are a very lucky man to have a wife with such an intelligent and humorous nature! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing knowledge! 💕🌺👵✌️
I nerd- out over Vic Geology. This is wonderful ❤
Nearest old gold field to me is Warrandyte (historically one of the worst), a few mines survive but in recent years they've all been fenced off to explore as we did as teenagers. Photo's show what it was like when mining stripped the forest & changed the land. We were taught none of this in school. Our drive to explore & learn, is why we love your channel !!
Thx for sharing another grt vid. Well done. Maps n drone shots r so nice.✌🏻
Loving the video's on Australian geography!👍
More to come!
Would you consider covering the geology of San Diego County in California, USA? More than one plate converges here. A small plate resurfaced not far from the coast, giving us little granite mountains, little volcanoes, huge granite mesas, and cool round granite boulders. They mine for gold in our harbor, and nearby Julian, California was a gold mining town. One of our urban trails and the trolleys and trains run through the valley of a fault line. As a plus you could do a road trip.
Thanks again for an interesting video. Keep ‘‘em coming 🤘🏻
A very interesting video and I don't doubt your sincerity in the subject matter you present but I would love you to present what those who have studied this area have come to conclude as well as presenting the information you do here, for balance of for nothing else. When I see in the comments people mentioning Randall Carlson I get a little uneasy and whilst I don't equate you to him or even think that he is insincere in what he truly believes I much prefer to accept information when the other possibilities are out forward rather than just one point of view.
P.s. I just watched the video on how your channel is being attacked and in it you do mention a bit about yourself, and whilst I'm loving your output and you seem to be very much following scientific principles it would be nice to have a video where you talk a bit about how you have maybe approached people in academia or even local geology societies, which I assume you must have done as someone who seems very curious about aspects of you local surroundings to the extent that you are making these videos, because when I hear things are just missing from maps, sure there could have been prospectors back in the day who have let's say influenced what we have today, but I just find it hard to believe that in a place like Victoria (and Australia in general) there aren't accepted theories (which I'm not saying are right, or might be incomplete) out there.
I say the rocks do not lie. Growing up in Yarrambat with 2 gold mines operating at that time I have always had an interest in geology so finding this channel is rivitting information. Thank you for your enthusiastic presentation.
Very cool! Thank you so much for commenting and for watching!
I love your videos because I'm a prospector wanting to learn more.
However I live in western Australia and I'd like more info in our Goldfields for example, from southern Cross to Kalgoorlie. Or places like Mount magnet, sandstone and cue
Thanks for the suggestion that is definitely on the list for a future video! I appreciate you watching :)
@@OzGeologyOfficial my pleasure. I love how informative your videos.
I hope you can show me what types of things to look for to find gold in wa
Lithgow, NSW, is where it is because of the close proximity of both black coal and "iron ore".
It's an interesting country; marble quarries in FNQ, Uranium,m in the NT, gold all over the place. Lead, Zinc, etc. Titanium oxide washed down rivers in southern NSW to be piled up in rich sand deposits from northern NSW to past Harvey Bay. Diamonds in WA. Some of the biggest Bauxite deposits in the world.
LOTS of potential.....
When plants first evolved wood, which is (Lignin), microbes took some time before they evolved a method of eating it and breaking it down into soil. So the wood built up in layers and remained long enough to be burried and eventually being converted into coal
i am going to look at your back catalogue, but if its not there.... I LOVE driving up to Beechworth from Murmungee because the sheer cliff face is so incredible next to the smooth circle shape at their feet. I love to know if it's just beautiful or is it tell me a story I can't hear?
So good information, Thank you , love the content
This video is excellent.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
Beautiful views from Buninyong or Warrenheip … always get them mixed up :)
Absolutely Brilliant ty
This is nice.
How do you gain access to magnetic maps? I'm really curious because a lot of the rock that you show in Victoria looks so much like the rocks where I grew up in Parkes NSW. And there was gold there and a gold rush. And Parkes is surrounded by seven hills, (lol they told us at school that it was just like Rome which is also surrounded by seven hills) so I figured there had to be vulcanos but I cant figure out how to access magnetic maps to work this out. It's probably already known but it would be a cool discovery for me.
Your a smart man i live in vic let's go dig this stuff up 🙏
Look into lake Titicaca once was at sea level is now 12,000 feet above sea level, and you might start to understand, but apparently had happened throughout the Earth
This interests me, who is somewhat opposite you through the globe. I think I am coping with your vocal delivery style.
What is missing for me is some idea of the scale of your maps. It was always the first thing I looked for when unfolding a map.
CORRECTION The second thing. First was actually 'Which way up?'.
ps. My Geography teachers at school were apt to point out of the window or tell us about a well known piece of the country and use it as a teaching aid, rather than produce a picture or a sketch.
Hey Oz, dont suppose i could organise a conversation with you? Im researching archaeological mistakes in Australia to just see what new work should be done.. there is so kuch disinformation though haha so chatting to a scientificind like yourself might really help!
I have to admit I was in Langy Kel kel in 1997when it was a youth training centre 😢
I'm fascinated, when these rifts happen are they sudden and catastrophic or do they happen slowly and hardly noticeable to the eye?
Very slowly over time, but very catastrophically too, in that, the weaknesses created by the rifting produce extremely dangerous natural disasters such as Earthquakes and tremendously explosive volcanism. They are very dangerous places to be around that's for sure. There is one currently tearing East Africa apart in present day, appropriately named the East Africa Rift Zone.
@@OzGeologyOfficial oh wow I know you mainly do it around our homeland but I have seen that you do other continents too. Will you be doing one on the East Africa Rift Zone? or have you already and I missed it?
When i worked for Lahir gold they extensivly drilled to the north and west of ballarat mainly out through narrina. And as you have mentioned they believe they had found the shift. I was involved in a meeting where they estimated a big 6 figure amount of gold but it was deeeep. They even approached the local council to sink a new portal in the narrina area which wasnt allowed and Lahir pulled out of ballarat goldfeild.
Thank you for sharing this I really appreciate it. It’s a shame they weren’t ever able to get down to it in my opinion. It’d be great for the local economy.
If the radioactive material concerns you you should invest in a detector, it shouldn't be more than background readings unless there is a lot on the surface but with a radiometer you would know ahead of time
Can’t watch the latest video, marked “Private”

My name is Paul.
I would like you to give some informed comment on the Undara Lava tubes from the eruption on the Undara volcano about 170,000 years ago.
This is fairly recent, and some of the region is considered potentially active.
I would be pleased if you considered it worthy of investigation.
What is the difference between alluvial and colluvial in context to your discussion?
What went on in Rosedale. East Vic?
You've made several discoveries. Have you published any of them?
Smooth rocks don't always prove they are 'river rock' look and see if they have a flat side. They could be molten ejecta from a asteroid impact that flattened like a cookie when they hit the ground. River rocks don't have one flat side.
You take me to these places and I will pay for everything else.
Smelting video please
Sir, you should meet a like minded man named Randall Carlson, a Yankee bloke.
Has anyone thought about what the geolgy of a planet without plate tectonics would be like?
You're looking at it. Plate tectonics doesn't happen. It's all based on assumptions. There was no pangea. The earth expanded and the evidence is overwhelming. The ocean floor is at most 200 million years old. All the continents fit together on a sphere roughly half the size if you take away all the oceans. Then you have the geologic and biologic evidence. It's really sad that plate tectonics is still pushed.
Flinders Ranges... FLINDERS RANGES!!!
Why?
Why?
Why?
It's doing my head in why the Flinders Ranges are the way they are. I need ANSWERS!!! 🤣
Ohhhh! Great topic! I'll get on it mate :)
@@OzGeologyOfficial Ever since getting into some of your vids, I started scrolling google earth and maps... and every time I see it, it just looks... well. out of place, and weird.
@@OzGeologyOfficialyes please! great suggestion! Also keen to understand as much as possible about how this came to be.
This is possibly why you are under attack mate
Preserve protect the old timers because we were miners
Is any geological formation ever 'odd' or 'weird'? It's there because of geological forces.
Okay bro. Go check your analytics. I think you'll find it'll still be okay 👍 I ain't got nothing to do with shit bruv. But I've had enough of the crap.
I'll tell ya mate, if I had a way to get there I'd not only let you stare at rocks, I'd let you mine dome gold n keep whatever you find
You and Ozzyman are the same person
Oddies???? 😅 Bloody autocorrect, I bet.
Bloody something that's for sure! Got it right on the thumbnail. Been up for hours too. That's how you know you've been ontop of things today hahahahahaha!
@@OzGeologyOfficial I knew it didn't reflect on your abilities. I've got a good eye for detail but damned autocorrect always tries to shame me haha... Keep up the great content! 🤩😊
Why ur voice sound diff in this one?
There’s also distortion when he speaks
@@NovemberSky3 His total silence on comments specifically about these things makes me wary it's AI, I'm not interested in mass produced exploitive slop so I'm out.
@@LostCylon I was using Sony wireless over-ear headphones
@@sandrahealey6385 no need to be passive aggressive
Why are you telling everyone we're it is😢
1st
u are funny but you don't have to try
boring
You are my type of nurd.
