		I was greatly impressed with the style of writing of Archibald Geikie, the author of the famous Textbook of Geology which had inspired generations of students in the comparatively new discipline of geology.
		Geikie in these books tells us of the story of the great pioneers of our science, of their struggles, their failures and their successes and tracing how geological ideas and theories first arose and assumed their present form.
		While they had a profound respect for his genius, they were drawn towards him by his winning personality and he became the centre for all that was bright, vivacious and cheerful in that remarkable circle of eminent men.’ He discussed his theory with them and their approval was ample enough for his ambition.

		One is Geikie's `Journal', written when he had recently been appointed to the Scottish Branch of the Geological Survey; the other is an essay `On the Study of the Sciences', which is published here in full.
		It appears that he was filled with religious zeal and piety when a young man, though as far as the evidence goes, this gave way to conventional religious observance in later life.

		During the wet season, the Fitzroy River rises about 16.5 metres, staining the walls of the gorge and flooding the national park with seven metres of water.
		Bunaba guides have been trained by CALM to lead the tours and they have been authorised by their people to take passengers to places not normally accessible to the general public.
