Geology of the Flinders Ranges:
Forward:
"I have written this booklet to try and unravel the history of this heritage that dates back 1400 million years.  The booklet will be trialled by teachers during a five-day conference in August 1974 titled "Conserving a Natural Resource through Education".  It is hoped that teachers attending the conference will take students to the Flinders Ranges and pass on their understanding and concern for this unique area."

Natural History of Flinders Ranges National Park:
Introduction:
"This and the accompanying booklet "Geology of the Flinders Ranges" have been written for older secondary school students.  The booklets will be trialled by teachers at a 5 day conference...
We hope they will then trial the materials with their students and that further information such as a "Whiteman's History of the Area" will be put together.  In this way we hope a comprehensive teacher's guide to the wise use (conservation) of the middle Flinders Ranges might be produced, along with background information that will encourage both student and layman to see, hear, smell and above all feel the beauty and diversity of colour, form and life that is our Flinders Ranges."
