You don't have to know much about rocks or geology or plate tectonics to still perceive information in these geology maps and see where formations have been squished east-to-west, or see corellations between a specific type of rock and populated areas like Sydney, or a lone mountain that corellates with the only instance of that formation (whatever it is). Without knowing what the colours represent you can already start to see the landscape from a different perspective "all these mountains and valleys are part of one massive formation", "there is a LOT happening geologically in this small area", or "whatever that rock type is, it must explain why that bit of is sticking out into the sea when there's sandy beaches on either side of it".
