This is an institutional history of what has become Geoscience Australia. It is interesting but has a lot of names and it was hard to follow the story when I got people confused. Also rather than describing places by locations, it tends to use geological basin names instead. If you haven't got them all memorised (and there's no map), it's easy to lose track and therefore interest.

On the upside there are lots of fascinating historical photographs.
