Five cable tool holes up to 10.7m deep were drilled to test the site of a proposed power station at the Government sawmill, Nangwarry. The drilling showed a sequence of silty fine sand of the Molineaux Sand to about 7m depth, overlying clayey and variably cemented Gambier Limestone. Foundation loads could be safely carried on piles driven about 1m into the stoniest part of the limestone horizon.
