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, mostly of marine origin. Drill cuttings sampled from below 3320 feet contain pink sandstone which may be of Devonian age, but as no cores were cut in this interval, it cannot be said with certainty that these cuttings were not derived from pebbles contained within Permian glacigenes.
