Two unsuccessful bores on the property of K.L. Blythman, Hundred of Willunga Section 596, and, one successful bore for L.L. Moritz, Hundred of Willunga, Section 8 were examined. Water was obtained in Moritz. Bore in the North Maslin Sands about 120...

Croydon Bore no. 2 was drilled during 1892-93 to a total depth of 2296 feet, and penetrated a sedimentary sequence of Tertiary rocks to 2035 feet before bottoming in sediments believed to be Permian glacigenes. Pleistocene to Recent sandy clays and...

A north-south line of foundation test bores along the site of the proposed new Morphett Street and Victoria Bridges intersected Quaternary and gently dipping Upper Eocene sediments to a maximum depth of 125 feet. Quaternary alluvial deposits cover an...

This report contains information used by the staff at the Geological Survey at various times as a basis for advice to authorise responsible for construction of the new Government Offices at Victoria Square. It is not therefore an integrated report. A...

A site investigation has been carried out for G. Maunsell and Partners, Melbourne, for the proposed new Morphett Street and Victoria Bridges, in the City of Adelaide. The investigation was requested in a letter to the Director of Mines dated 21st...

At Happy Valley, Pliocene freshwater sands and clays, capped by a lateritic horizon, are underlain by marine Blanche Point Marls of Eocene age. Boring has proved 2 million cubic yards of fine clayey sand with ¾ million cubic yards of waste material....

Upper Eocene microfloral assemblages from the Blanche Point Marls of the Adelaide Plains Basin in the vicinity of Victoria Square, Adelaide, have been used to show that the sequence obtained from recent drilling is entirely of marine or restricted...

45 Auger samples were examined from 8 bores at Hackham, 18 miles south of Adelaide, in the Noarlunga Basin. An upper Reserve sequence of South Maslin Sands - Tortachilla Limestone - Blanche Point Marls is recognised on the basis of distinct...

Microfloras from Eocene marine and non-marine sediments, intersected in two deep bores in the Adelaide Plains Basin, can be placed within two distinct assemblage units. The correlative value of these as time-stratigraphic units is discussed.

A foundation test bore 200 feet deep, drilled at the site of a new Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP) building to be constructed on the south-western corner of North Terrace and King William Street, has intersected a Cainozoic sedimentary...

Three relatively deep bores, drilled recently on the northern Adelaide Plains in the Hundred of Port Gawler, about 20 miles north of Adelaide, have intersected useful complementary sections of the Cainozoic succession, ranging from 560 feet to 1148...

Near horizontally bedded Upper Eocene sediments comprising Blanche Point Marls, Tortachilla Limestone and South Maslin Sands, have been test bored at Hackham in the Noarlunga Basin, in the search for a bentonite - type clay deposit which might provide...

Reconnaissance sampling of coastal and inland exposures of the Tertiary succession in the Willunga and Noarlunga sub-basins of the Saint Vincent Basin indicates that the P205 content of the sediments is below the average of normal marine carbonates. A...

The presence of lignite in the Inkerman-Balaklava area was proved in 1922 when exploratory drilling was first carried out. A total of 30 bores were drilled between 1922 and 1950. Indicated reserves calculated on the basis of this drilling were 200...

Tertiary fossiliferous limestones with a total thickness probably less than 10 metres crop out along the coast for about 2 km SW from Kingscote jetty. 3 limestone units are present, 1 Late Eocene and 2 Late Oligocene.

312 metres of Cainozoic overlie Precambrian bedrock : ABC Range Quartzite (312-587 metres) conformably overlying finer-grained Brachina Formation (587-682 metres). The drilling and former seismic data permitted reinterpretation of bedrock structure...

Two exploration wells have been drilled through the Cainozoic sequence to Precambrian bedrock to provide stratigraphic and hydrogeological data. At the South Parklands site two aquifers were tested. The upper one yielded a large supply of marginally...

The 170 m deep E&WS Seaford Sewerage Treatment Bore passed through a Cainozoic succession comprised of undifferentiated Quaternary and Oligocene, and Eocene Port Willunga Formation, Chinaman Gully Formation, Blanche Point Formation, Tortachilla...
