The survey was made to determine the extent and variation in thickness of impermeable clay strata under an area proposed for irrigation development. The area was proved to be free of clay except for an insignificant zone on the western boundary of...

Sources of hard rock are restricted. Deposits of limestone and silicified sandstone are significant because of their proximity to Renmark and Berri. The present competition for these resources should be resolved by reserving an appropriate area from...

Three observation bores were drilled within 1.5km of each other approximately 4km south-west from Waikerie. Depth ranged from 235 to 329m, substantially deeper than all othe bores in the area, and all Tertiary epochs are represented. The stratigraphic...

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...

The Arrowie Area is situated in the Central Flinders Ranges and constitutes the southeastern corner of COPLEY (i.e. 1:250 000 sheet). Approximately 50% of the area is mantled by Cainozoic sediments distributed in part of the western edge of the Frome...

The site of a proposed elevated water storage tank was investigated by means of one test hole. The hole was tube sampled utilising hydraulic pull-down. Hard sections were rotary drilled. Before commencing the push tube hole a rotary air blown hole was...

A late Cainozoic lacustrine deposit equated with the Bungunnia Limestone crops out near Pungonda and has been investigated as a source of railway ballast by mapping, trenching and laboratory testing of samples. Los Angeles Abrasion and sodium sulphate...

Stratigraphic summaries and more significant microfaunal data are provided for additional water bores on properties in the Sunlands, Ramco and Waikerie areas, and for a recently completed bore at New Residence, 7 miles south of Moorook. Formations of...

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...
