This report summarizes the outcropping rock types and structure present on the Vennachar and Borda 1:50,000 mapsheet areas on the western end of Kangaroo Island. The sheets cover most of Flinders Chase, which is a flora and fauna reserve. The oldest...

In 1969, a program of hydrogeological investigation was carried out in Test Area 1 as part of the South East Water Resources Investigation. The results were described in a report by Harris (1969). Since that time there has been:- (a) a monitoring...

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...

Outcrop and subsurface samples taken from various sources, that represent all the Cainozoic marine formations of the eastern Eucla Basin, have been studied. The current stratigraphic knowledge of these formations in SA is summarised. A marine...

The 1973 Robe Field Conference of the Specialist Group in Sedimentology comprised informal lectures on carbonate deposition and the role of algae in carbonate precipitation in volcanic lakes of western Victoria, supratidal dolomites of Queensland,...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and economic geology of an area on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin and the western margin of the Gawler Block. The area is centred upon the FOWLER 1:250 000 map area. The stratigraphic section of the...

The eastern boundary of the Bridgewater Formation (Pleistocene aeolianite limestone) was identified from Streaky Bay through to the southernmost region of Eyre Peninsula. Younger calcrete and Molineaux sand were also mapped. The boundary has been...

In response to a request by Mr. A.E. Lush, a groundwater survey was made of section 82 of the Hundred of Laffer. The property is located approximately 10 miles southwest of Keith. A water supply of approximately 50 000 g.p.h. is required for the...

Photogeological interpretation of the islands of the continental shelf of the western coastline of South Australia indicates that all islands are crystalline basement. The larger islands have a thin cover of calcareous aeolianite and more recent...

One sand has benthonic foraminifera of Upper Eocene age, and is referred to Rogue Formation, correlating also with basal Port Willunga Beds. The other sand is from a Pleistocene "aeolianite" sequence, Bridgewater formation. Its microfauna, mostly...

Groundwater of the South East province forms one of the most important water resources of the State. All towns south of Keith and, indeed, most towns in the Murray and Otway Basins rely on groundwater for their supplies. Therefore it is important that...

Investigations being carried out by the Department of Mines in the Padthaway irrigation basin and surrounding areas are aimed primarily toward determining the water budget of the basin in conjunction with other Government Departments. The role of the...

Recent investigations into the hydrogeology and water balance of the Padthaway irrigation basin have suggested that the current level of consumption of groundwater for irrigation purposes is very close to the safe yield and that any appreciable...

Lucindale Test Hole No. 1 was drilled to test the yield and salinity of the Knight Group pressure aquifer. A supply of 18 litres/sec with a salinity of 1129 mg/1 was obtained. A transmissivity of 42 metre3/day/metre was calculated for a bore...

In April 1969 and January 1970, four pumping tests were conducted in Test Area No. 1. This area is located between Robe and Beachport. In this report the results of pumping tests are presented and other methods of examining the groundwater hydrology...
