After a ‘light-bulb moment’ with APS members several years ago, Rebecca started to investiage the connection between plant assemblages and rock types through the MacDonnell Ranges. Rebecca’s presentation will uncover the fascinating geology of the West MacDonnell Ranges and discover the links between the rock types and the flora found there. She will take you on a virtual journey through the ‘West Macs’ where you can enjoy some stunning vistas from along the world-famous Larapinta Trail.
