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...

A representative selection of rock types obtained in the cores of the DDH1 and DDH2 iron ore exploration holes was made with a view to studying the mineralogy, the lithology and any microstructures of interest present in the formations intersected. A...

Lead and copper mineralisation occurs in rocks of Cambrian age in the Ediacara Mineral Field. Rich pockets of ore minerals of limited extent occur in the Transition beds and in the overlying carbonates, associated with breccias or turbidites....

As part of the SADM iron exploration programme in South Australia, geophysical and drilling investigations have been undertaken on the Warramboo Anomaly, the largest elongate asymmetrical aeromagnetic anomaly in the State outside of the Middleback...

Three species of Triassic freshwater molluscsa of the family Unionidae occur in the Leigh Creek and Springfield Coal Basins. One species Unio cyrensis is redescribed and two, Unio springfieldensis and Protovirgus isenschi, described as new. One Lower...

Lake Torrens, a normally - dry salina whose surface is 112 feet above sea level, has been the site of accummulation of some l,000 feet of continental lacustrine sediments since Eocene times. Sublake sediments encountered in boring comprise in...

Light No. 1 was drilled on shot point E126 subsequent to the Middle Beach Seismograph Survey. The purpose of the well was primarily to determine the depth to basement, to assist the correlation of seismograph records, and to further stratigraphic...

Detailed field studies of outcropping material from the Oodnadatta and Wintinna 4 mile areas, supplemented by analyses and petrological descriptions of selected samples, has revealed a rock assemblage of considerable complexity. The results obtained...

This investigation was carried out following a request from the Director of Agriculture. Seepage problems associated with the build up of surplus irrigation water have been common in almost all cultivated areas of the Murray Valley since the inception...

Geological sections drawn across the CHOWILLA 4-mile mapsheet area have been prepared from drillers' lithologs of 36 bores. The existence of a number of distinctive marker horizons and paleontological age determinations enable a provisional...

A quarry site located near Lowbank on the River Murray, 7 miles east of Waikerie, has been geologically mapped and partly explored by drilling 14 vertical diamond holes with a total depth penetration of 702 feet. Marine sandy limestone and calcareous...

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...

Rocks in the Flinders and Hutchinson groups are exposed sporadically around the coast of Eyre Peninsula. Reported occurrences of molybdenite and scheelite in these rock types were investigated. No significant rare metal minerals were found in the...

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....

In the Sir Joseph Banks Group of southern Spencer Gulf offshore islands, outcropping Archaean arenaceous, arkosic and calcareous sedimentary rocks appear to have been folded and granitised prior to the deposition of the Adelaidean System sedimentary...

The drilling of four bores was undertaken by SADM during April 1965 in an attempt to augment the limited supplies of potable water presently available for the residents of the Andamooka Opalfield. The existing supplies of such water are drawn from...
