Our Society:
The society currently has over
60 members and is based in Brisbane, Queensland. Its members predominately
come from South-East Queensland, but we have quite a few members from
northern New South Wales.
MinSoc Qld
meetings are usually held on the last Wednesday of each month, excepting
December, when an end-of-year BBQ is held
instead. The meeting venue is in a meeting room the Garden City Library located in
the northern end of the Garden City Shopping complex.
If you are planning on visiting, please contact a committee member as
access can be confusing.
There is
free parking within the complex AFTER 5.30pm. if you have the
Garden City phone app. (Else you will pay
shopping centre parking rates of $4:00 or so). The library is on the top level 4 with
a lift between the cinema building and
the multilevel carpark (facing Logan road). Entry to the meeting
room is through the after hours door passed the main Library
door. This door is locked at 7.30pm to allow all members to be at
the meeting.
Most meetings are well attended, and
have stereo microscopes available for mineral viewing and identification. Guest speakers
frequently attend, and a 'Mineral of the Month' session enables members to become better
acquainted with various mineral species.
Committee Meetings are
held prior to the General Meetings every two months.
We have a keen micro
mineral group ('Micromob') who also meet regularly to view and discuss
micro minerals. (see calendar for details)
The 'Australian
Mineral Collector' Internet site has been sponsored for the past 27 years,
and aims to make the hobby more educational and accessible.
