About

The Mineralogical Society of New South Wales ("Min Soc NSW") promotes knowledge and enjoyment of mineral science and mineral collecting. The Society was founded in 1975, and includes both professional and lay people interested in mineralogy. We hold monthly meetings, and also organise field trips. Along with other Australian State Mineralogical Societies, we participate in the publication of the Australian Journal of Mineralogy.

Meetings

We meet on the first Friday of the eleven months February to December unless that Friday is before a long weekend or is itself a public holiday, in which case the meeting is put back until the second Friday. Meetings start at 7.30pm. Visitors are very welcome. See list of future meeting dates and topics below.

 

Meetings are held in the LZG 14 lecture room, on the ground floor of the General Teaching block of the School of Natural Science of the University of Western Sydney - see map below. Note that there are two sections of the Campus - the School of Natural Science is on the North side of Victoria Rd., and can only be entered from Pemberton St.

There is a $4 fee to park on Campus. Tickets are available at the corner marked M on the map, alternatively there is parking in Pemberton St.
