Examination of seven old water bores sunk between 1887 and 1920 in the area between Lake Phillipson and the north-south railway line has established a well-defined Lower Permian sequence of glacigene boulder clays, marine siltstones and clays, and freshwater mudstones and siltstones with low rank coals. The sequence has a maximum of approximately 3,000 feet and ranges in age, determined from plant spores, from (?) lowermost Sakmarian to Lower Artinskian. The glacigenes at the base of the Permian rest on Precambrian rocks; the sequence is overlain by kaolinitic sands of undetermined age, tentatively Jurassic, and Aptian marine shales and mudstones.
