We welcome our first guest to the podcast as Kents Cavern's Nick Powe joins us to talk about geologist, archaeologist and educator William Pengelly. Pengelly was a leading Victorian scientist who spent 15 years excavating at the caves and was a leading scientist in Victorian Torbay. This was a really interesting podcast to make and we are grateful to Nick for helping to bring Pengelly's story to life with such eloquence.

What is the ERGG and why is it important? After a summer of Taleblazers Geowalks, Rich, Kev and Victoria talk about the fascinating geology in Torbay and some of their favourite spots.
