The purpose of this report is to present the results of a number of short, reconnaissance, seismic refraction lines shot in 1961 and 1963 between the Gambier and Murray Basins and northward into the latter. One series of lines was shot in 1961 between...

Gravity and seismic surveys conducted over a number of years in the South Australian portion of the Murray Basin are discussed in chronological sequence and related to the geology. Little is known of the pre-Tertiary geology of the area from outcrops...

A reconnaissance seismic refraction survey was carried out in the South Australian portion of the Eucla Basin, to determine the general shape of the basin and to assess the feasibility of using seismic methods in the area. Some of the refractors...

At the request of Mr. C. England, Assistant Engineer for Design, E. and W.S. Department, the sites for 5 alternative water storage facilities near Whyalla were examined on 17th and 18th February, 1965. On 18th February, the inspections were in company...

During January 1965 a seismic refraction survey and a detailed gravity survey were carried out by SADM for Australian Development NL at Mount Compass, over an aeromagnetic anomaly covered by an earlier ground magnetic survey. A drilling site has been...

Mount Toondina lies near to the centre of the Arckaringa Basin, herein redefined somewhat provisionally, on seismic evidence, as a significantly thicker development of Upper Palaeozoic sediments. The Mount Toondina Beds are herein formally described....

During March 1965 a combined refraction seismic and gravity survey was carried out on behalf of Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Ltd by the SADM seismic party. The primary aim of the survey was to assess a probable sedimentary trough located in PEL...

The routes for a proposed Freeway and associated minor roads have been investigated to assess the nature of the materials which will be met in cuttings. In particular it has been required to delineate the portions which can be excavated by dozing or...

Both time cross-section and dip cross-section plots have been attempted over a 14,400 foot long traverse through the Wilkatana 1 bore site, to outline the Tertiary - Cambrian unconformity. The time cross section shows some reflections below the base...

During the months June-August, seismic reflection and refraction tests were made at selected sites on Lower Yorke Peninsula as part of the Government's oil search programme in this state and to ascertain whether any degree of correlation could be...

A seismic cross-section along the Lock-Tuckey portion of the Polda Basin shows that bedrock is between 600 m and 900 m deep. Bedrock probably, consists of either Mt. Wedge type grits and con-glomerates or weathered crystalline basement. The basin...

Low plastic silty clay 3.0 - 10.0 m deep and a buried narrow river channel 14.0 m deep were proved during investigation for a clay core earth dam approximately 10.0 m high. Backhoe pits, Gemco drilling and seismic refraction work were the...

Aim was to delineate the shape of the Jurassic coal deposit in central Eyre Peninsula, and to test for westerly extension. Basement depression in which coal is confined was interpreted. It increases in depth west of the drilled area. Includes contours...

Bumbarlow 1 (TD 720.33 m) aimed to test the lithology and petroleum potential of the Cambrian section in the central part of the eastern Arrowie Basin. It continuously cored a sequence over 300 m thick of flat-lying Proterozoic sediments interbedded...
