During the EL 132 tenure, work has consisted of a mineability evaluation of the Honeymoon uranium deposit, plus additional U exploration over the South Eagle farmout. Initially, 5 rotary holes (total 594.9 m) were drilled to the north of the...

Exploration for possible Alligator Rivers (Northern Territory) style uranium deposits occurring in potential host rocks (carbonaceous pelites and carbonate rocks) within an Early Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence underlying a Middle Proterozoic...

The Onkaparinga River, the largest watercourse draining the Mount Lofty Ranges from the east, south-east and south of Adelaide, already provides water for two reservoirs supplying the Metropolitan Area of Adelaide. These are Happy Valley Reservoir...

The effects of earthquakes on buildings and structures are described with reference to the 1954 Adelaide earthquake, and some severe earthquakes in California in 1952. The resistance to earthquake shock of various building materials and structures and...

Detailed geological examination of the area in the vicinity of the proposed tunnel has shown that, provided suitable precautions are taken, there are no geological factors which will prevent the successful construction of a tunnel through the ridge...

In the first years of settlement Adelaide's water supply was obtained directly from the River Torrens, or from shallow wells along its banks. This water became brackish in summer and caused serious health problems due to pollution. In any case the...

Field work (including topographic survey and drilling of 3 fully cored drill holes totalling 78 metres), laboratory tests and computer aided stability analysis were carried out to assess the safety of a portion of the coastal cliffs near the Kingscote...

2 distinct groups of basaltic volcanoes constitute a western extension to the Newer Volcanics of western Victoria. The older Mount Burr Range group include 14 fissure controlled centres with lava flows, composite domes and cones and tuff rings or...

Subsidence of Permian glacial clays and sands was of the complex rotational type. The slide was due to softening of the cliff face soils through infiltration of rain water along dessication cracks. Recommendations, to minimize landslide frequency,...

The area surrounding Port Lincoln can be divided into three main physiographic regions, the aeolianite plain, the coastal plain, and the highlands. Soil types range from shallow, well-drained terra rossa overlying the aeolianite, to imperfectly...

Describes 2 areas of instability at Hallett Cove Railway Station and on Greenhill Road.

Earthquake risk in South Australia, while low by global standards, is sufficiently high to warrant methodological analysis. A relatively novel method, seismic moment, is used to estimate the risk in South Australia. Detailed results are given for...

Metropolitan Adelaide is founded on a wide variety of soils that overlie sediments and rocks. Some of the soils and sediments react to seasonal and human-induced changes in water content with marked changes in volume. The black earths and...

An increase in groundwater salinity in parts of the Padthaway area threatens the sustainability of established irrigation developments. A number of management options to mitigate the groundwater salinity increase are being considered by State...

A preliminary study was made of the near vertical coastal cliffs adjacent to Gordon and Stock Street, Aldinga. Continued landsliding of soil-strength cliff-forming materials and toe erosion by the sea have threatened the clifftop esplanade roadway,...

As Australia has had so few large earthquakes, it is not surprising that books about those earthquakes are hard to find. This work by Tom Dyster, a keen local historian, covers in considerable detail the four most important South Australian...

The purpose of the Symposium was to address the problem of earthquake risk in the Australasian and SW Pacific regions. It aimed to update current knowledge on seismic processes and discuss ways of mitigating the disruptive effects of an earthquake via...
