22 students and 4 teachers from SMK Riam braved the rainy weather to
get a taste of geology at the Miri Airport Road outcrop. We almost had to
cancel the excursion as at the start time of 0800 hrs, the rain was
pouring down and fast flowing streams of water were everywhere on the
hillslopes. Luckily, a break in the clouds after about 15 minutes
suggested that it might be worthwhile to wait a little. In the end we
started about a half hour late but the rain had reduced to only a slight
drizzle.
The Outcrop Museum volunteers today were : Norzita Mat Fiah, Anthony
Yeo, Lai Soo Khuan and Philip Lesslar.
The students had a lot of questions which led to quite a number of
detailed discussions as the following pictures show. The weather continued
to improve and with the early rain, it was a nice and cool day to learn
some geology. In addition to the guided tour, the students were asked to
do an exercise that would require them to pick up information along the
way and finish off with a sketch of one of the main faults at the bottom
of the outcrop.
