History & Geography, Capertee Valley – 14 MAR 2024 – Eric Tanner

Thursday 14th March, 7.30 pm.
The recovery of nature at Glen Davis.
Speaker – Eric Tanner.


Eric aims to show people the wonderful resilience of nature following the enormity of the disturbance of the open cut shale oil mines at Glen Davis in the 1950s. He knows the area well and will tell us about what everyday life was like in the Glen. Mining ceased in 1952. Eric will bring fact sheets and copies of photos taken during mining and in recent times.

The Glen in the 1950s. We’ll see how it has
changed on the excursion.
