Donna 1 well intersected 500 feet of Tertiary sediments and 1800 feet of Permian sands before drilling was suspended at 2300 feet. The formation at this level is presumed to be of Permian age, while the siliceous limestone cored between 2073 and 2078...

Beach Petroleum NL Monash 1 exploratory well located 5 miles north-west of Monash, and 20 miles south-west of Renmark, was drilled to a total depth of 3445 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian sedimentary rocks,...

Australian Oil and Gas Company Wentworth No.1 was drilled 25 miles north of Wentworth, N.S.W, to a depth of 2081 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of mainly marine Tertiary rocks to a depth of 1273 feet; it then intersected 331 feet of marine Lower...

North Renmark 1 was drilled 6 miles north of Renmark, to a total depth of 4018 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin, and has given the most complete section so far known from the...

Department of Mines Langhorne Creek Observation Bore No. 1, sited near the western margin of the Murray Basin, in Sect. 3606, Hd. Freeling, Co. Sturt, penetrated 430 feet of Cainozoic sediments before bottoming in bedrock of Kanmantoo Group phyllites....

The site of a pumping station at Murray Bridge was investigated by 1310m of seismic refraction traverses, a push tube-diamond cored hole to 41.61m, and two cable tool holes to 44.68 and 48.86m. The site is underlain by Recent river clays and sands...

Foraminifera and stratigraphy of four water bores in the Hundred of Stirling and one bore in the Hundred of Laffer have been examined. The total thickness of the Cainozoic sequence to bedrock, proved in two bores, varies from 398 feet near Emu Flat, 4...

Stratigraphic evidence indicates major change in sedimentary regime in the Middle Eocene, close to the inferred onset of continental breakup. Deep sea drill core suggests an Antarctic ice sheet may have existed at this time, when Australasia was much...

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...

Waikerie Bore No. 2, drilled 2½ miles south-west of Waikerie township, bottomed at 775 feet in sands of the Knight Group, after passing through a sequence of Quaternary beds, Norwest Bend Formation, Morgan Limestone, Finniss Clay equivalent (?),...

Site investigations consisted of three cable tool holes up to 22m deep. The site is underlain by a continuous strong calcrete sheet at least 1.5m thick, over Tertiary sands and gravels consisting of Nor'west Bend Formation, Mannum Limestone (?and...

A stratigraphic bore was completed by cable tool drilling to a depth of 48m at Paragum Station, monarto South, in connection with the Regional Hydrological Survey. The hole intersected Blanchetown Clay, Parilla Sand and Mannum Limestone over phyllite...

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...

STR-2, on the Padthaway Ridge, near Monster Mount, Keith district, penetrated a Cainozoic sequence approximately 88 m thick resting on bed-rock of weathered quartz-feldspar porphyry. ?Coomandook Formation (8-28 m, ?Early Pleistocene) 1s distinguished...

Engineering geological investigations consisting of cable tool drilling of 10 holes up to 15.25m deep, penetration testing and seismic refraction surveys were completed at the proposed CBD of the Monarto city centre. Drilling encountered thin...

Following pollution of the Gambier Limestone aquifer by subsurface waste disposal, a production bore for Kraft Foods at Mil-Lel was drilled into the Knight Group. To increase the limited knowledge of this confined aquifer, a Departmental observation...
