Remnants of transgressive mid-Tertiary limestones occur at 413 feet above sea level (513 above datum level Port Adelaide, relative to bench mark 20/A, Truro R.S.) in and to the north of Levi's Creek, Section 229E, Hundred of Anna, and on Section 26,...

The report describes the progress made to September 1st 1960 of a survey of stone deposits within a 50 mile radius of the Chowilla Damsite. It is concluded that only shallow deposits of variable quality will be available within 30 miles of the site...

Five stratigraphic bores at Chowilla Dam Site intersected Post-Tertiary river sands and silts, equivalents of the Loxton Sands grading downwards into highly glauconitic siltstone of the Bookpurnong Beds and, in two bores, Shelly glauconitic marls,...

A topographical survey has been carried out to determine the probable extent of a siliceous limestone horizon beneath a mesa, namely Sugarloaf Hill, located 2 miles west of Lake Bonney near Kingston-on-Murray, which on its northern part is worked as a...

The report discusses chiefly the occurrence of hard rock in the area within 40 miles radius of the site but details of deposits of sand and fine grained impermeable material at the site are given. Most of the stone deposits are of secondary origin and...

The site of a proposed silo at Keith was investigated by means of one cable tool hole 16m deep. The hole encountered very strongly cemented limestone of the Padthaway Formation to 3m, overlying calcareous sand and sandy limestone of the Coomandook...

The site of a proposed silo at Waikerie was investigated by means of one cable tool hole 17m deep. The hole encountered Woorinen Formation dune sand and clayey sand of the Blanchetown Clay overlying calcareous sand or sandy limestone of the Norwest...

The Milang one-mile Military sheet is defined by latitudes 35°15’ and 35°30’ and by longitudes 138°30’ and 139°00’. It is situated south of Adelaide, on Fleurieu Peninsula and comprises mainly parts of the counties of Adelaide and Hindmarsh. The...

Fourteen power auger holes and three bulldozed cuts have indicated clay containing 45% gypsum under 1m of overburden. Reserves in MLs 661 and 662 on the west margin of a dry lake approach 100 000 t of washed gypsum. Saline water is likely to occur at...

The dam proposed on a site at the 392 and a half mile peg on the River Murray will have to be founded on a series of incoherent and probably unconsolidated sand beds up to 120 feet thick overlain by a veneer of clays and silts varying from 0 to 20...

The Mobilong Military Sheet is situated between longitudes 139°00and 139°30 and latitudes 35°15and 35°00, extending over the eastern most slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges and the flanking plains of the Murray Basin. It is bounded by the following...

This report discusses the results of the second geological investigation at Chowilla, based on recommendations proposed in the preliminary text. Supplementary drilling has in no way altered the general geological concepts previously expressed....

Two bores on the west bank of the River Murray in the Hundred of Finniss intersected part of the Mannum Formation and the Ettrick Formation before entering weathered granite. Site 5, Bore 1, 2 miles east of Mannum had the lower part of the Mannum and...

The site of a proposed silo at Geranium was investigated by means of two cable tool holes up to 20m deep. The drilling showed a sequence of Holocene clays and sandy clays overlying Pliocene Loxton-Parilla Sand at 4-6m depth. Hole 1 intersected the...
