Mr Jones told recounted early European history including a detailed explanation of how Victory Beach got its name. No doubt a number of boys will be looking for ambergris the next time they go for a stroll along their local beach.
Mr Clark gave a lesson on geology from on top of the pyramids and followed this up with a talk about the relationship between the physical form of Cape Saunders and the diverse collection of animal species that reside there.
