	Victoria, Australia - LoveToKnow 1911
		The first persons to land in Victoria were the supercargo and a portion of the crew of the merchant ship "Sydney Cove," which was wrecked at the Furneaux Islands in Bass Strait on the 9th of February 1797.
		Victoria was visited in 1824 by two sheep farmers named Hume and Hovell, who rode overland from Lake George, New South Wales, to the shores of Corio Bay.
		Victoria has no mountains covered with snow, which in Italy and South America supply with water the rivers at the season of the year when the land needs irrigation, and it was necessary to construct large and expensive reservoirs.

	Geology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-, "the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history, and the processes that shape it.
		The word "geology" was first used by Jean-André Deluc in the year 1778 and introduced as a fixed term by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the year 1779.
		In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.

		In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.
		The principle becomes quite complex, however, given the uncertainties of fossilization, the localization of fossil types due to lateral changes in habitat (facies change in sedimentary strata), and that not all fossils may be found globally at the same time.

	Introduction to the Caves and Karst of Victoria
		Victoria's karst landscapes consist mainly of doline fields in the older limestone areas of Gippsland in eastern Victoria and of eroded remnant dune landscapes in the younger limestones of Western Victoria.
		Victoria also has other significant pseudokarst features, primarily marine caves, which are found along our ruggedly beautiful southern coast.
		The lava plains of Western Victoria extend from Melbourne almost to the South Australian border, 350 kilometres to the west.

	The Tasman Fold Belt System in Victoria - GSV Special Publication
		This volume is concerned with an updated account of the geology and mineralisation of the Delamerian and Lachlan fold belts in Victoria with important inferences for the extensions of these belts into other states of Australia and also for dispersed fragments of Gondwana.
		It was compiled from the surface geology map and interpretation of the extensive new magnetic, radiometric and gravity data, along with seismic profiles where available.
		We have attempted to reconcile the mapped geology with the geophysical data sets, to produce a map that is both geologically and geophysically reasonable.

	Geoscape Victoria - Under the sea
		The morphology of the seafloor surrounding Victoria is a result of a combination of bedrock topography, glacial erosion and deposition during the last ice age, sea level change since de-glacia-tion and human interference.
		The seafloor geology consists of silty-clay in Esquimalt and Victoria Harbour, with sand and silt further offshore; and a gravel surface lag most everywhere else.
		The Victoria water front is the location for two of the Capital Regional District sewage outfall pipes: Macauley Point and Clover Point.

	200508VicGoldOpptyExplore - Invest Victoria
		Victoria produced 225,000 ounces of gold in 2006-07, valued at approximately $210 million - a 10 per cent increase on the previous year.
		Victoria's gold exploration expenditure for 2007 reached $56 million with the majority of that gold derived from Victoria's Golden Triangle, an area between Bendigo, Ballarat and Stawell in central Victoria.
		“Fifty years ago, understanding the complex geology of Victoria was a hit and miss affair, with geologists and scientists relying on trial and error in their search for mineral deposits,” Mr Batchelor said.

		The Area at Botany Bay and Cape Geology (Granite Harbour, Victoria Land) has been proposed by New Zealand on the grounds that it is an extremely rich botanical refuge for such a high latitude location (162°34' 00"E, 77°00' 30"S), with a lichen and moss species diversity and abundance that is unique for Southern Victoria Land.
		The bedrock geology at Cape Geology has been described as a porphyritic grey biotite-granite, with phenocrysts of orthoclase of reddish colour, casting the weathered rock with a reddish tinge.
		The nearest protected area to Cape Geology is SSSI-3 at Barwick Valley, 50 km distant in a SW direction in the Victoria Land Dry Valleys.

		Geology is the study of the physical processes and history of the solid Earth.
		In the modern world, understanding of geological processes is becoming increasingly important for those concerned with the extraction and preservation of the Earth's natural resources, the evaluation of natural hazards, anticipating the social and environmental effects of global change, and undertaking environmental and resource planning and monitoring.

		Our knowledge of the geology of South Victoria Land is mainly due to Scott's expedition of 1901 -- 1904, with H. Ferrar as geologist, and Shackleton's expedition of 1907 -- 08, with Professor David and R. Priestley as geologists.
		Professor David and R. Priestley, the geologists of Shackleton's expedition, refer to Ferrar's and Prior's description of the foundation rocks, and state that according to their own investigations the foundation rocks consist of banded gneiss, gneissic granite, grano-diorite, and diorite rich in sphene, besides coarse crystalline limestone as enclosures in the gneiss.
		Land is probably a northern continuation, on the eastern side of Ross Sea, of the foundation rock plateau of South Victoria Land.

		It is also a vast test-bed for the technologies that will make the next generation of mineral discoveries across Australia, and pioneer the first generation of sophisticated environmental management and landscape-scale sustainable systems.
		Victoria's famous rush contributed 2500 tonnes of gold — 2 per cent of all the gold ever mined in human history.
		The story of Victoria' wealth begins some 400 million years ago, when 20 giant volcanoes — several of the scale of a Mount St Helens — blew their stack and carpeted the landscape in roiling pyroclastic cascades, flowing basalt and deep beds of ash.

	GSAV Victorian Geology - PreCarboniferous
		The evolution of eastern Victoria at this time is quite different to western Victoria, and must be seen in the context of prolonged horizontal displacement of eastern Victoria, travelling south with respect to the Gondwana landmass.
		The largest rift-like basins in eastern Victoria are the Buchan Rift and the Mitchell Basin, with smaller basins at Errinundra (the Boulder "graben") and Bindi (the Bindi Syncline).
		In Victoria the deformation was of somewhat different character in the two main outcrop belts, the Howitt and East Gippsland provinces.

		Chris Wilson supervised his project on the structural geology of the Mt Ararat region in western Victoria, and pointed Ross off in the direction of a career in structural geology (interrupted periodically by climbing, skiing and mountainbiking etc.).
		During the 1990s, the majority of his projects were in western Victoria, with key results including recognition of the Moyston Fault as a major craton-directed thrust and the terrane boundary between the Delamerian and Lachlan Orogens, definition of the Moornambool Metamorphic Complex, and recognition of a fold-and-thrust belt in the Grampians Ranges.
		Ross is currently involved in the interpretation of deep seismic transect data across central Victoria and it’s implications for the geological evolution and mineral endowment, and in updating regional-scale geological databases.
