This book, Australian Backyard Earth Scientist, is now out.
While I was writing the Teachers' Notes, it occurred to me that large format copies of some of the pictures that I used there could be helpful, so I have tested, and found that most services smallify pics horribly, or gouge the owner for sharing stuff for free.
So I am going to post them here, and this is the third set. I retain all copyright, but note the following let-out:
This Creative Commons copyright allows non-commercial use in any form, with attribution and share-alike.
Most of the images will look huge on the blog page, because they are all inserted as "original size" which means they will normally come out as 1600 x 1200 (some images are older and smaller format) Titles appear under the images,: to get any picture onto your computer, right-click and choose "save image as". The file titles are complex but sufficiently descriptive, while the captions will help.
There will are multiple pages:
