The Gawler Craton preserves a tectonic history spanning the interval c. 3200 – 1400 Ma, and its evolution is dominated by Neoarchean to Mesoproterozoic tectonic events. Prior to the Jurassic-Cretaceous breakup of Australia and Antarctica, the Gawler Craton was part of a larger continental entity, the Mawson Continent. Central to developing earth crustal paleogeographic reconstructions that involve the Gawler Craton, or to generating predictive models for its metallogenesis, is the requirement that involved researchers have a detailed understanding of the stratigraphic and tectonic events milestones which are preserved within it. The subject field trip conducted within the south-eastern Gawler Craton was designed to highlight known major variations in lithostratigraphic composition and to examine the rock evidence of cycles of orogenic and magmatic reworking believed to have occurred therein.

    Notes: This field guide to the geology and tectonics of the Paleoproterozoic Kalinjala Shear System was prepared for the post-conference field excursion associated with the 2012 International Association for Gondwana Research (IGAR) Annual Convention and 9th International Symposium on Gondwana to Asia, that was held at the University of Adelaide on 19-20 November 2012.  The guide is divided into three sections. Part 1 contains an overview of the geology and tectonics of the southern Gawler Craton within which the Kalinajala Shear Zone occurs. This has been modified from an article recently published in Episodes associated with the 34th International Geological Congress, Brisbane 2012 (Reid and Hand, 2012). Following this, a more detailed description of the Kimban Orogeny is given in Part 2, with specific emphasis on the metamorphic architecture of the southern Gawler Craton. Part 3 provides a description of each of the excursion localities. Appendix 1 provides generalised topographic maps and detailed orthoimagery of field localities.
