From 270 feet to 515 feet the boring progressed through pale grey bryozoal limestone and marly limestones, with a gradual transition from Batesfordian (Lower Miocene) to probably Longfordian (uppermost Oligocene - Lower Miocene).

Donna 1 well intersected 500 feet of Tertiary sediments and 1800 feet of Permian sands before drilling was suspended at 2300 feet. The formation at this level is presumed to be of Permian age, while the siliceous limestone cored between 2073 and 2078...

Beach Petroleum NL Monash 1 exploratory well located 5 miles north-west of Monash, and 20 miles south-west of Renmark, was drilled to a total depth of 3445 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian sedimentary rocks,...

Sludge and core samples examined microscopically but not in detail show a sequence on 70 feet of recent sands followed by at least 90 feet of Loxton Sands. Below 260 feet Miocene-Oligocene limestone continued to 479 feet at which 9 feet of glauconitic...

Australian Oil and Gas Company Wentworth No.1 was drilled 25 miles north of Wentworth, N.S.W, to a depth of 2081 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of mainly marine Tertiary rocks to a depth of 1273 feet; it then intersected 331 feet of marine Lower...

The stratigraphic succession from the surface to 600 feet depth in Pinnaroo bore is: - Pleistocene to Recent terrestrial sands and clayey sands, thickness 34 feet; - Loxton Sands (Cheltenhamian - Upper Miocene), thickness 107 feet; - ?continental...

North Renmark 1 was drilled 6 miles north of Renmark, to a total depth of 4018 feet. The well penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin, and has given the most complete section so far known from the...

This report covers an intensive survey of the groundwater resources of the southeastern portion of the State and is an important contribution to the study of the hydrology of Australian groundwaters. The State possesses a major economic asset, in a...

Department of Mines Langhorne Creek Observation Bore No. 1, sited near the western margin of the Murray Basin, in Sect. 3606, Hd. Freeling, Co. Sturt, penetrated 430 feet of Cainozoic sediments before bottoming in bedrock of Kanmantoo Group phyllites....

Investigation of the site of a proposed four-cell silo consisted of five cable tool holes up to 12.5m deep. The site is underlain by a layer of fill up to 2.4m thick followed by a natural sequence of aeolian topsoil and calcrete over Mannum Limestone.

Details of the drilling carried out to improve the observation borehole network since June 1967 given. Water level observations are presented in graphical form for a total of 16 observation boreholes and covering the whole or part of the 24 month...

The report covers the initial phases of investigation into the use of underground methods of water disposal employed in the Waikerie Irrigation Area. The detailed geology of the area was established from surface exposures and by means of several...

Samples appear to span the Globigerinoides trilobus datum. Lowest 2 samples inferred as from below the datum, as lacking G. trilobus s.1., the other 3 above the datum, as showing increasing development of G. Trilobus morphotypes up section. Includes...

The site of a pumping station at Murray Bridge was investigated by 1310m of seismic refraction traverses, a push tube-diamond cored hole to 41.61m, and two cable tool holes to 44.68 and 48.86m. The site is underlain by Recent river clays and sands...

Two cable tool holes were drilled to test at depth the foundation conditions for a proposed bridge over the Murray River. As a result of a previous investigation, sampling was not commenced until depths of 16m and 26m had been reached. Both holes then...

A second progress report on the geological investigation of the site for a proposed second pumping station at Morgan. This work was requested because of changes in design layout of the new station, and to further evaluate some of the geological...

Investigations at a proposed pumping station site at Swan Reach have shown yellow sandy limestone of the Mannum Formation overlying grey sandy to clayey limestone of the Ettrick Formation. The boundary between the formations is marked by a 1m wide...
