Drilling to determine foundation conditions for the proposed Forensic Science and Motor Vehicles Buildings was requested by Mr. A. Dancauskis of the Public Buildings Department. The two buildings will be from 6 to 9 stories high, will have basements,...

In the light of accumulated stratigraphic and foraminiferal data a re-examination has been made of the Willunga Bore W.B. 1 , drilled in 1951 - 1952 3½ miles east of the coastal type section of the Tertiary sequence in the Willunga Sub-basin and St....

Cable tool and diamond drilling to depths of up to 185 ft beneath the proposed Adelaide City Festival Hall site have revealed about 60 ft of alluvial materials of Pleistocene to Recent age, overlying about 60 ft of Blanche Point Marls and carbonaceous...

A programme of reconnaissance drilling has been completed in the North Adelaide and Torrens Valley areas to assist in the selection of a route for the proposed Adelaide Metropolitan Subway. The drilling was carried out to augment knowledge of the...

Rotary drilling of 16 holes at the Tatachilla sand deposit on the northern margin of the Willunga Basin indicates total reserves of 3.6M cubic metres of construction sand and 0.8M cubic metres of filling sand. Overburden and waste totol 2.3M cubic...

The low grade lignite deposits which form the Inkerman coalfield lie within a sequence of unconsolidated Tertiary sediments 100 m thick in the northern St. Vincent Basin. Drilling and test pumping in three aquifers has provided approximate...

The main horizon used in the past for City buildings with piled or piered foundations has been the Hallett Cove Sandstone. It is encountered at depths of 10 to 20 m below an area including most of the City Central Business District, but has been...

One rotary drill hole 52.5m deep encountered a typical Tertiary sequence of Blanche Point Formation, South Maslin Sand and North Maslin Sand overlying Adelaidean basement. The lower 18m of North Maslin Sand are potentially of construction sand quality.

A borehole survey has been carried out in the Willunga Basin, 30 km south of Adelaide, beginning a new investigation of its hydrogeology. Although the groundwater resources of the Basin are being developed rapidly, there is little useful...

Boreholes B2/73, B3/73 intersected (i) thin Quarternary units over ?Plio-Pleistocene Carisbrooke Sand, uncomformably overlying (without intervening Port Willunga Beds) (ii) an Eocene succession (correlated with the lower part of Reynolds' standard...

Drilling for construction sand near the northern margin of the Willunga Basin intersected the Eocene succession unconformably overlain by Quaternary units. Two of three holes penetrated into the target North Maslin Sand, but were abandoned before...

INTRODUCTION TO THE GUIDE As superb exposures of fossiliferous strata, refreshed by coastal erosion and winter storms and backing popular beaches in what is now suburban Adelaide, the coastal cliff sections in the Willunga Embayment have attracted...

This report presents an inventory on the status, current condition and capacity of the existing Willunga Basin observation well network which has been installed to provide information needed for groundwater resource management. A review of the...

Outcrops in the banks of the Onkaparinga River at Old Noarlunga, and in coastal cliffs near Ochre Point between Moana and Maslin Bay, South Australia, provide a record of late Neoproterozoic, (including early Ediacaran) and Cenozoic sedimentation and...

Lignite seams in the Clinton Coalfield were further assessed for their potential to produce commercial grade montan wax in marketable quantities, via the drilling and sampling of two appraisal rotary/core holes with a total penetration of 533 feet, to...

The MAITLAND Special 1:250,000 scale geological map covers the greater part of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The rocks in the map area comprise deformed Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic basement of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, and...
