A new core from Lake George

On the 27 November 2015, our ARC-funded Lake George Project* arrived at a milestone: the first core appeared from the direction of the high-tech sonic drill rig perched above a surveying mark on the bed of mysterious Lake George, or, to use its traditional name, Weereewa. A team of drillers, surpassed in number by a team of scientists, excitedly started to package the fresh core to keep it from sunlight in anticipation of OSL dating, some months away.
