During the formation of the Adelaide Hills some hundreds of million years ago, Earth was quite a different place to what we have now. Not only the atmosphere, landscape, fauna, flora, and geography was different, but even time was different. The presentation will explore the nature of Earth when the rocks were created which are now form the Adelaide Hills and follow the history of the Adelaide Hills through time.
