Notes: Those WMC coal exploration holes drilled in South Australia's South-East region originally had hole name prefixes 'SANR' (= South Australia / NARACOORTE 250k mapsheet area) assigned to them [as has been written on the geophysical log headers by WMC personnel at the time of drilling]. However, the drillhole naming was later changed during the mid-1980s to the use of a 'SE' (South-East) prefix; the change was applied by WMC both retrospectively to holes that had already been completed, and in their ongoing report writing mentioning all newly drilled holes.

Includes: - Pippet, T.D.J. (Layton Geophysical International), September 1980. WMC seismic refraction investigation, Kingston SE, SA. vol 12, p: 383-398, 3 plans. [survey was conducted during mid-August 1980 along 4 orthogonal lines designed to cross each of two WMC cored drillholes, SE506 and SE507, thereby acquiring ~4.4 line km of detailed refraction data]; - Harris, W.K. 3/4/1980. Brief WMC internal memorandum re. results of palynological examination of 40 drill cuttings samples from Naracoorte region coal exploratory drilling [includes data on biostratigraphic zone assignment, geological age of sediments, and possible depositional environment].
