It still amazes me to think that these rocks once looked the way the non-hornfel rocks in the other cutting did. And it really becomes evident in the footage immediately following the transition at 11:47. Truly astonishing stuff. These rocks are literally baked like a pie. The layers turning ductile, and then joining together in the process. The lines remind me of a zebra at 13:23
Every new episode I see from Australia, the more I realize just how unique the Geology and it's many Processes truly are. Just when we think we finally have it all figured out, something so unique leaves us scratching our heads in wonder. Australia has some of the oldest and rarest minerals. Some land formations are billions of years old. Road-cuts are Geology Labs where truly remarkable discoveries are made every day. How it all fits together will take lifetimes to understand and figure out. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing with the rest of us your amazing and beautiful country. If it this spectacular in a video, to witness it in person would be forever memorable. Definitely putting Australia on the Bucket List.
A great channel that I love to watch and learn about our continent & it’s extraordinary deep past, brought to light by your videos in detail. Thanks for your hard work.
Bro... I wish you could come to America... to my area... eastern Tennessee! You've enlightened me to the geological wonders! My old Mountains are majestic! Not towering like the Smokies... but around all the lakes you can see the craziest folding of rock I've ever seen!
My friends think I’m mad for looking at rocks. They don’t see how beautiful and intricate the structures are. Rocks live and change with time, like us, just much slower 😁 What a stunning country you live in.
@OzGeographics thanks mate. Only ever seem to get half way through them. How's the rock crusher coming along? Was some great looking quartz in that video and i swear i seen some visible gold on it. Love your content mate, keep up the great work. Cheers.
I totally concur with you! I spent 30 years prospecting and surveying in outback South Australia until an accident crippled me, but I am still fascinated by rocks and minerals another 30 years later ! Thanks for bringing this geology to me on my screen, as I an no longer able to get out and about as I would like to, to see it for myself. I hope you can eventually do some videos on the Gawler, Musgrave or Flinders Ranges some time, to take me back to the places that I love! Thanks again!
Thanks again, dude. There are so many great spots here in WA, and having someone like yourself to talk to when I find them would be awesome. I have always thought of myself as a ley geologist. I share your fascination with rocks and their formation but have little formal knowledge.
Very good explanation. I would presume that is southern Pyrenees, maybe the edge of the western district. Maybe Beaufort. Our farm is on the Wimmera river in more central Pyrenees. We have a lot of rocks and I'm always amazed at the variation in very short distances. The road cuttings are a great spot to look at the soil type and gauge the productivity of the adjacent farm land.
Superb again! You keep my interest at the highest level with your awesome videos. My enthusiasm for geology is getting bigger with your work! I'm beginning to think that maybe Australians are not that bizarre after all.
Bless your "Bogan" voice! 😂💚 It is lovely to hear an Aussie talking about this glorious continent and especially an area that I call home. The rocks in this video gave me the thought that every breath Gaia has taken, from her inception, has been frozen in time and we are looking upon an ancient living, breathing entity. How extraordinarily beautiful she is. 🙏😎💚
Thankyou for your beautiful and informative shows. Have recently discovered you and I'm hooked. Keep the great work coming please. 😊 I've also recently bought a block in Argyle/Heathcote Victoria, and wondering if you have any info or shows on that area. 🙏
you should see some of the cuttings in the Dunnoly -Bealiba Train track . Exquisite colors and au dust on some seams where it goes through Gokdsborough/
I grew up in one of, what must be the most boring geological areas in the world, Western Pennsylvania. I spent days upon days searching the train track ballast for interesting specimens since they sourced the ballast from glorious New England. Too bad my parent's threw away all of those "dirty rocks". The fist sized crystal clear calcite crystals alone make me want to weep.
Haven't heard a "Hammond Organ" in decades! 😂 Your videos never cease to amaze me about Victoria's past violent eruptions and once having being part of the Ocean! 👍
Hey bud south of sydney is a place called windang, the south side of the island has rail wheels imbeded in the sandstone, i always thought this odd perhaps you could solve a 50 year old mistery for me ?
This is amazing, you have almost convinced me that Australia actually exists, with rocks and everything... LOL Wonderful Breakfast in the Pyrenees... Questions: the quartz that is squeezed into places, it is not pure silica, a chemist will tell you that quartz is a pure crystalline form of silica. But that which you (geologists) call quartz, has other things: something white and of course some Iron for the yellows. What is the white stuff, calcium oxide?, water?, aluminum feldspar? is it largely amorphous,in crystalline structure?
I need information about a heavy black rock i found and i have tried to get information from museum Vic and Australia but they both say there bussy and can't help. I have also tried Facebook but that was worse. Can you suggest any place i can go to get this rock identifed, because I have even tried shops that sell crystals and they were no help. The rock keeps looking at me, asking who am i, but i keep having to tell it i don't know and its creeping me out. You try sitting with a rock who is confused about its origin
being american i noticed the "give way" and keep left signs at 640 into the video......keep left is obviously backward, but give way somehow sounds a bit friendlier than Yield.....lol
God, I would spend EVERYDAY Rock hunting & enjoying nature if I lived near geological mineralization like that!!! Please Soak all that mineral Diversity right up! Enjoy that environment around you.
I love your Content, You are saying wonderful things but the way you narrate them and by that I mean your thick Australian accent makes watching your them really-really difficult. I am sure I am not the only one with this problem. I am watching this one just to post this comment
I really like the porn music.😂 Really gotta say, I love the rocks too. Thanks mate, gotta say you’re really help me with some puzzle pieces for my life with what you’ve shown. Thanks buddy

I need to get in touch with you about the Black Hill video you brought out about a month ago
They look like behemoth agates!
Oz, your videos make Australia seem awesome!
I’m sure your country is just as amazing! Hope to go there one day :)

Simple video of rock formations is always appreciated!

So nice of you! Thanks for the amazing support :)
Would be great to hear you discuss the lava the Eastern Freeway is cut through just east of Merri Creek.
Bro... I wish you could come to America... to my area... eastern Tennessee!

Gotcha, will do next time!

Have to agree with you. The rocks and colours are awesome. Thanks for the great vid.
Beautiful. Thankyou 💕😊
Thank you! 😊
Hit me right in the feels as i can relate to being blown away at geology and just stare for hours at the rocks lol
Thanks again, dude.
There are so many great spots here in WA, and having someone like yourself to talk to when I find them would be awesome. I have always thought of myself as a ley geologist. I share your fascination with rocks and their formation but have little formal knowledge.
Wow! The geology of Australia is breathtaking! 👍
Fantastic videos dude! I grew up near Red Rock and have always been fascinated by rocks! These videos are great for my students too!
Love how everyday, we walk amongst the ancient sea beds, and extinct volcanic layers.
Very good explanation. I would presume that is southern Pyrenees, maybe the edge of the western district. Maybe Beaufort.

If I'm out in the bush swinging my stick and see a bloke copulating a rusty outcrop I'll just leave them be. 💯👍
😂😂 This comment is gold!
I've had the urge to marbleize my own outcrop.
@@OzGeologyOfficialhi, once again, I’m asking for an arizona episode or two. If you need any help, I’ll try.
Great video as Always my man😊
Appreciate it my bro! Thank you!
that bit at the end....thumbs up mate, enjoyed it alot
I'm in the Bendigo region. If I walk out my back gate I'm surrounded by these types of displays.
Thankyou for your beautiful and informative shows. Have recently discovered you and I'm hooked. Keep the great work coming please. 😊
I've also recently bought a block in Argyle/Heathcote Victoria, and wondering if you have any info or shows on that area. 🙏

Thanks for the tip, I'll check this out. Any spot in particular?
I watched ya rockporn & that mineralised quartz almost got me there. So I watched it again and reached the end we both needed

Great Video Mate, I must drop down to Vic one day, the Geology looks Mad, T-Rocks.
Road cuts make amateur geologic exploration so much easier.
Not sure about the "bogun" voice 😅, not really bogun, but love the comedy that you put in. 👍👌👏👏
Nice work. I'll comment again.... come to WA!
Haven't heard a "Hammond Organ" in decades! 😂
Your videos never cease to amaze me about Victoria's past violent eruptions and once having being part of the Ocean! 👍
These videos hit different when I need to go to sleep
@OzGeographics when do we get that series about great Australian geologists/prospectors?
Absolutely awesome
Hey! I was duped by the color enhanced thumbnail....still awesome
Hey bud south of sydney is a place called windang, the south side of the island has rail wheels imbeded in the sandstone, i always thought this odd perhaps you could solve a 50 year old mistery for me ?
Go for a drive along the New England Highway in northern NSW if you are able, lots of granite boulders sitting around.
Some of this reminds me of the Werribee gorge at the Pentland Hills.
You're a legend.. I'd love to go prospecting with you.. I love geology
Come visit South Africa. Lots of rocks here too.
Fantastic..... 😊
Where and on which road is this cutting located? I would like to go take a good look at it too.
Have you seen the cutting at the Ringwood tunnels?
This is amazing, you have almost convinced me that Australia actually exists, with rocks and everything... LOL Wonderful Breakfast in the Pyrenees...

You try sitting with a rock who is confused about its origin
When are you coming west mate ?
Very, very soon. This channel is slowly getting there!
Are these rock formations gold bearing, the quartz.
how are are earth deposits formed? do we have any in Australia? ? Where would we look for them?
And what are the coordinates of the cutting ?
there are some really good you tube videos on the Stavely Arc. One by Department of Jobs,… and others by Geological Survey of Victoria.
I understand that magma is really hot but this video was cool. Thank you.
So beautiful 😊
When do we get to that sweet au? 😅
A history about the formation of the Mount Lofty & Flinders Ranges in South Australia. 🙂
4:13 I think i just erupted from all that geology jargon, nothin sus. 😂
Thanks
Thank you so much for the generous donation mate! I appreciate it so much!
@@OzGeologyOfficial no wakkas legend
I liked the beer bottle fossil
The danakil depression, you should see padawan
being american i noticed the "give way" and keep left signs at 640 into the video......keep left is obviously backward, but give way somehow sounds a bit friendlier than Yield.....lol
Hey we are not backwards. How many countries in the world drive on the left. I would never yield to anyone but give way yes. 😅
Hmm, I reckon there is gold in that quartz, a pick and shovel with a few sticks of dynamite would set it free.
God, I would spend EVERYDAY Rock hunting & enjoying nature if I lived near geological mineralization like that!!! Please Soak all that mineral Diversity right up! Enjoy that environment around you.
I have my own pair of knees....
the quartz fragmentation looks like teeth
We Canadians and Australians are bro essentially since we both have the Queen on our money.
Love it mate! Rock porn ❤❤❤
10mins of rocks 🫠
ikr should be 10 hours!
go to the center of Earth... there yet?
okay.... which direction is down?
Pretty, but documentary narration is better.
I love your Content, You are saying wonderful things but the way you narrate them and by that I mean your thick Australian accent makes watching your them really-really difficult. I am sure I am not the only one with this problem. I am watching this one just to post this comment
Not sure what you're trying to accomplish by commenting this in the first place. It's not like I can just decide to not have an accent.
I'll donate $10 if you take us on a road trip.
rather the cheesy sound-track. really
But I wont... But I just did
I really like the porn music.😂 Really gotta say, I love the rocks too.
Thanks mate, gotta say you’re really help me with some puzzle pieces for my life with what you’ve shown. Thanks buddy
are you from ballarat or you just like to talk about it a lot ???
i'm putting these video's on at bed time, it's gental and neutral content sure to give ne a good nights sleep ???
Liquid hot magma
how are are rare earth deposits formed? do we have any in Australia? ? Where would we look for them?
