I saw a boulder at a park like the right one and was like "oh that's gneiss (or schist)" Unfortunately it was way too huge to take home. At a large creek I did pluck a really nice example of maroon rhyolite that had washed down from some bridge base rock. It was like 160 pounds so I had to pick it up on a revisit with a cart and somehow I man-handled it into my front seat and got it home. I'm shocked I didn't pull any muscles. At home I sled it out of the car on a 2x4 ramp. I also snagged some smaller purple rhyolite pieces.

That is very gneiss. We do not have much Rhyolite in Victoria. What formation was it? We need to be careful on our adventures, I usually smash rocks and take a small piece, 80 kg is too much for me.
Great info thanks!
Thank you for your kind words.
Excellent Glen 🙂
Thank you.
