The Murray Basin is an area of Mesozoic and Tertiary sedimentation divided into two main units the Murray Basin proper separated by structural highs, the Padthaway “Horst”, from the Gambier Sunklands. Knowledge of the Mesozoic in the Murray Basin...

Outcropping sediments in the area covered by the Milang Military Sheet include Permian cross-bedded fluvioglacial sands and silts, mid-tertiary calcareous sandstones and limestones transgressive on Kanmantoo rocks in the Strathalbyn area, and Lower...

Drainage problems in the Loxton Irrigation area have called for a clearer understanding of the stratigraphy of the area between Loxton and Morgan. Apart from Quaternary sediments, the sequence is normal marine, in which five formations may be...

Rock samples collected from outcrops on the margin of the Murray Basin were examined and the formations from which they were taken identified. Material from the Marne River in Hundred of Ridley was of particular interest. In this area marginal...

Drilling at Swan Reach passed through Mannum Formation into the upper sediments of the Ettrick Formation. Mannum Formation limestone is exposed in the river cliffs while the river has cut down into the Ettrick. About 60 - 70 feet of silty sands cover...

The standard subsurface section for the Pata Limestone and Bookpurnong Beds of Miocene age is described. In upward sequence Morgan Limestone, Pata Limestone and Loxton Sands are intersected in Drainage Bore 18 on Section 377, Hundred of Gordon.

The standard subsurface section for the Ettrick Formation, A.R. Launer's No. 2 Bore, Section 21, Hundred of Ettrick, is described and outcropping members of the formation noted. The formation is of Oligocene age, equivalent in part to the Gambier...

Contains a description of the biostratigraphic determinations made on drill cuttings samples recovered from below 1047 feet depth in the subject drillhole. Metamorphic basement rocks were encountered at 1191 feet depth, and drilling ceased at 1260...

Between February and July 1979, six deep regional investigation holes and thirteen shallow local investigation holes were drilled in the Upper Murraylands area of South Australia. ATS values range from 7000 to 25,000 mg/1 within the Morgan/Mannum...

At the Anna Coalfield, the November 1976 appraisal drilling by SADME of 2 rotary mud, partly cored vertical boreholes with a total penetration of 159.62 m (including 28.36 m of continuous ?NQ coring over the coal-bearing section) has confirmed the...

As part of the EWS salinity mitigation scheme this survey was carried out to locate and define zones of preferential inflow of saline groundwater into the River Murray and assess the applicability of transient EM. The method could only locate zone of...

Cornerstone quarry, 180 km NE of Adelaide, was excavated in Miocene Morgan Limestone in the northern bank of the Murray River for building stone to construct the Overland Corner Hotel in 1858. From 1945 to 1958, 6 000 tonnes of ashlars were produced...

Data from 300 water wells mainly completed in Kanmantoo Group rocks.

In exposures near Hartley and Monarto, and in the Paragum-1 borehole south of Monarto, it is shown that Oligocene marine transgression over an irregular topography of early Palaeozoic metasediment and granite first deposited a basal, marginal- marine,...

A recent scout well drilled into the confined Dilwyn Formation (formerly Knight Group) at Mundulla intersected only low permeability sediments unsuitable for development. However, this does not rule out the possibility that a suitable aquifer will be...

Three groundwater observation wells have been drilled at locations north-west of Murray Bridge to determine the effect of increased stream flows down the Rocky Gully and Preamimma Creeks. Rocky Gully Creek will be capable of accepting about 10 000 m...

Analyses of key benthonic and planktonic foraminifera from this thin transgressive deposit, and of boundary criteria, indicate a date close to the Janjukian / Longfordian Australian Stage boundary, and close to the international Oligocene / Miocene...

Murray Bridge Abattoir's effluent is being disposed through drainage wells into unconfined aquifers which are hydraulically connected to the Murray River. Six rotary wells encircling the abattoirs area, proved the regional hydraulic gradient to be...
