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...

The site of a proposed new building for SE Meat (Aust.) Limited was investigated by one cable too hole to 14m. The drilling showed a sequence of fill and Quaternary clay over Tertiary Parilla Sand and Gambier Limestone. Founding of the structure in...

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...

A reconnaissance inspection of the Chowilla Reservoir area was carried out between 22nd and 24th August, 1966, to determine the geological conditions around the rim, particularly of the strata below top water level, and the possibility of leakage from...

Coarse sands and gravels equivalent to the Parilla Sand Formation outcrop in road and rail cuttings situated 4 km north of Tepko railway station. Selective auger drilling (13 holes for a total penetration of 102.5 m) done on sections 107 & 110,...

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...

Engineering investigations at the Monarto City Centre consisted of 8 diamond drill holes up to 15m deep, 25 backhoe test pits, detailed mapping and seismic refraction surveys. The area consists of Kanmantoo Group meta-sediments, in part overlain by a...

This report summarises the known hydrogeology along the Bremer River in the vicinity of Callington where it has been suggested that an irrigation area be established to use sewage effluent - derived from a treatment works adjacent to Monarto....

Groundwater flow in the Upper Murray region is generally towards the River Murray except in the Noora area where contours show a depression in the water table surface. The Noora area appears to be the most suitable site for an evaporation basin for...

Further drilling and aquifer testing between the proposed Noora evaporation basin and the River Murray yielded an average value of about 100 m3/day/m for transmissivity of the Loxton Sand aquifer. It is therefore expected that initial effects of such...

Engineering geological investigations consisting of cable tool drilling of 10 holes up to 15.25m deep, penetration testing and seismic refraction surveys were completed at the proposed CBD of the Monarto city centre. Drilling encountered thin...

Reconnaissance sampling and exploratory drrilling have been undertaken to locate suitable brickmaking clay for the proposed city of Monarto. Samples from exposures and boreholes in Quaternary and Tertiary sediments and in weathered bedrock have been...

Drilling of 25 cable tool holes to depth up to 20.1m in the designated area for Monarto New Town illustrates the nature, distribution and thickness of Quaternay and Tertiary sediments. The main tertiary units are the marine fossiliferous limestone of...

An area of the western Murray Mallee located near Blanchetown has been explored for possible economic heavy mineral sand accumulations in Pliocene raised beach strandlines. At the outset, the licensee performed a field inspection and drew up measured...

An area centred ~70 km south-southeast of Olary has been explored for buried mineral sands placer deposits that may have formed within the Cainozoic Murray Basin sedimentary cover, as well as for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences that...

A block comprising 319 square km or ~12.7% of the north-western corner of EL 5223 has been relinquished due to its now perceived diminished prospectivity for containing economic heavy mineral sands mineralisation, due to the apparent general absence...

Two separate licence portions together totalling 270 square km or ~33.5% of the former area of EL 4052 have been partially relinquished due to their perceived diminished potential to contain shallow Tertiary heavy mineral sands occurrences. Licensee...
