Lots of youtube stuff - I recommend Ozgeology for a local slant on this stuff. Melbourne based too. At least until he 'discovered' a river of gold underneath Melbourne. But seriously, this channel fits with everything I've learned so far about this town and continent.
All this stuff used to be called geography - but they don't teach that anymore as it was considered boring and irrelevant back in the 1990s. I have NEVER agreed with that verdict. Where we are on this planet and how everything works is something I been fascinated by since early youf. It's basic to understanding where we are and what is likely to happen in the future.
