Sid Hastie

Sidney (Sid) Hastie was a long-standing member of our Geological Society.  He came from a New Zealand farming background, and spent most of his adult life on his farm in the Bay of Plenty.  In the latter 40 years of his life he became an avid traveller visiting most parts of the world, where he was fascinated by their geology and landforms.  

Sid got his first taste of New Zealand geology when, in the early 1970s, he attended an Adult Education Field Camp at Kawhia led by Auckland geologist Peter Ballance.  He was so inspired that he read widely, joined the GSNZ attending many of our conferences, and joined geologist-led study tours around New Zealand, Australia and the US.  

Sid was a major benefactor to our Society, shortly before his death in 1996, Sid wrote: "I decided to provide funds for a geology scholarship to foster and encourage an interest in geology in the hope that others will find us much pleasure in the study of geology as I have."
