Report presents an extensive palynological revision study of drill cuttings from Echidna 1 (33 new samples), Platypus 1 (53 new samples) and Potoroo 1 (41 new samples) combined with a reconsideration of the raw data from Duntroon 1. In the author's opinion the new, internally consistent palynological data is a marked improvement on that resulting from poor earlier sampling and inconclusive past biostratigraphic efforts in the region, and provides a much more confident basis for rock correlations.
