Stop 2. Travel to the small town of Tooborac in the foothills of the exceptional Cobaw granite batholith, and learn the important timing of this granite suite in relation to the Bendigo and Melbourne zone, and learn about the major terrane-dividing Mount William Fault and Heathcote Fault zones.

Explore the intrusive complex consisting of granite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite and porphyritic granodiorite intruded into strongly folded Upper Ordovician metasedimentary rocks in the Beechworth district. The Pilot Range Granite has been an important source for tin, mostly mined alluvially, and coincidentally, the alluvial deposits have also been important gold producers, the source of the gold being quartz veins in the adjoining Ordovician metasedimentary rocks. Molybdenite mineralisation is associated with the Everton Granodiorite porphyrite plugs, and in a minor way, with the Mt Stanley Granite.

End in Albury outside the Commercial Club for a well-earned drink at the Ice-Breaker
