TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sand accumulations in Pliocene raised beach strandlines developed along the south-western margin of the Murray Basin. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey during November...

TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sands accumulations that may have formed in the Pliocene palaeocoastal dune and beach ridge sand sequence of the Marmon Jabuk Range, within an area extending south-eastwards from Tailem Bend for ~80 km.....

TARGET: Possible economic buried heavy mineral sand accumulations in raised beach strandlines within the upper Pliocene Parilla Sand, in the Cooltong - Overland Corner - Gluepot area that extends for ~10-85 km W and NW of Renmark. EXPLORATION: Aerial...

TARGET: Possible economic Pliocene or younger heavy mineral sand deposits in the Oakvale Station region of the north-western Murray Basin. EXPLORATION: Acquisition and processing of the major part of 33,000 line km of low-level airborne magnetic and...

It has been appreciated since the first geological report by Johnson, Hiern and Steel (RB 51/00136) that the filling of the proposed Chowilla Dam would cause some flushing downstream of saline groundwater present in sands beneath the Murray River...

This report completes a trilogy which surveys the regional groundwater situation along the River Murray, upstream of Blanchetown as far as the N.S.W, Victorian border. The area covered in the present report lies upstream of Kingston on Murray. The...

This report describes the results of geological investigations carried out on the right bank of the River Murray, at and adjacent to Tilmy Flats. A summary of the work is as follows: 8 shallow observation wells to detect lateral movement of...

This report deals with the regional stratigraphy of surficial deposits in the region of the Murray Basin and adjoining Gambier Embayment of the Otway Basin. The aim is to place deposits described in selected earlier publications of anthropologists,...

The most significant feature of the area, covered by the Naracoorte 1:250 000 sheet is the Padthaway Ridge which underlies all but the southernmost part of the area, where Mesozoic sediments, of the Otway Basin lap onto the ridge (Padthaway...

The site of a proposed new building for SE Meat (Aust.) Limited was investigated by one cable too hole to 14m. The drilling showed a sequence of fill and Quaternary clay over Tertiary Parilla Sand and Gambier Limestone. Founding of the structure in...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and sedimentary history of the Chowilla area in the Murray Basin. Local geology is set against a background of geological information derived from other areas in southern Australia. Local stratigraphy is based...

A reconnaissance inspection of the Chowilla Reservoir area was carried out between 22nd and 24th August, 1966, to determine the geological conditions around the rim, particularly of the strata below top water level, and the possibility of leakage from...

Coarse sands and gravels equivalent to the Parilla Sand Formation outcrop in road and rail cuttings situated 4 km north of Tepko railway station. Selective auger drilling (13 holes for a total penetration of 102.5 m) done on sections 107 & 110,...

Reconnaissance auger drilling for construction sand to supply the proposed new city of Monarto was carried out in the Tepko-Mannum and Hartley-Monarto South areas in 1974 The programme consisted of 79 holes 0.6m to15m deep for a total of 451m. Grain...

Engineering investigations at the Monarto City Centre consisted of 8 diamond drill holes up to 15m deep, 25 backhoe test pits, detailed mapping and seismic refraction surveys. The area consists of Kanmantoo Group meta-sediments, in part overlain by a...

This report summarises the known hydrogeology along the Bremer River in the vicinity of Callington where it has been suggested that an irrigation area be established to use sewage effluent - derived from a treatment works adjacent to Monarto....
