Graphs of water level from 16 bore holes. Rehabilitation of the observation wells recommended.

On the basis of the contained benthonic and planktonic foraminifera, the sample represents strata of Lower Miocene and also possibly Middle Miocene age (Longfordian, Batesfordian, and possibly Balcombian Stages) in Morgan - Mannum limestones, Murray...

A programme of investigation into the problems associated with underground drainage in the Waikerie district has been in progress for nearly six years. An earlier report (Roberts and Cramsie, 1969) summarised activities and results up to June 1967...

Over the site proposed for an artificial lake in the area for which the new city of Monarto is planned seismic refraction traverses were used in an attempt to check bedrock conditions. Shooting conditions were very difficult over most of the area as...

Mannum Limestone outcrops along 300m on the left bank of a proposed artificial lake at Rocky Gully, Monarto. A seismic refraction survey and eight rotary drill holes tested the extent of the limestone and the possibility of leakage from the lake. The...

Foraminiferal limestone matrix around a whale rib collected from the Port Willunga - Aldinga cliffs, St. Vincent Basin, is probably Oligo-Miocene in age, and from near the locally exposed top of Port Willunga Beds. Foraminiferal limestone matrices...

A proposed new city referred to as Murray New Town, with a possible population of 250 000, is to be built in the Murray Bridge area, west of the Murray River. The city will-occupy an area of approximately 175 sq miles; (450 km2). This report has been...

Elevation and thickness of the Lepidocyclina zone, low in Morgan Limestone, were measured at new and previously known localities. These data, and our field observations, enable gentle folding of the Murray Group to be recognised more clearly, and...

Investigation of the site of a proposed new road bridge over the River Murray consisted of five hollow spiral auger drillholes totalling 216 feet, geological surface mapping of the floodplain at a scale of 100 feet to 1 inch, and palaeontological...

A quarry site at Devlin Pound has been explored by four diamond drill holes totalling 360 feet in depth. Drilling shows that hard limestone occurs in thin bands in the upper 75ft. of the sequence of shallow marine sediments. To recover this rock it...

Stratigraphic summaries and more significant microfaunal data are provided for additional water bores on properties in the Sunlands, Ramco and Waikerie areas, and for a recently completed bore at New Residence, 7 miles south of Moorook. Formations of...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and sedimentary history of the Chowilla area in the Murray Basin. Local geology is set against a background of geological information derived from other areas in southern Australia. Local stratigraphy is based...

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 (?),...

A foundation test bore in the River Murray near Kingston-on-Murray penetrated river sands underlain by silts, rubbly limestones and sandy intercalations equivalent to the Pata Limestone, and bottomed in silts equivalent to upper Morgan Limestone.

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...

Reconnaissance auger drilling for construction sand to supply the proposed new city of Monarto was carried out in the Tepko-Mannum and Hartley-Monarto South areas in 1974 The programme consisted of 79 holes 0.6m to15m deep for a total of 451m. Grain...

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...

Two dam sites and the storage area for the proposed Lake Kalibar at Monarto were investigated by geological mapping, five diamond drill holes up to 21.45m deep, water pressure testing and seismic refraction surveys.
