The Duntroon Basin is located in the centre of the Southern Rift System between the Bight and the Otway Basins, west and SW of Kangaroo Island. It is limited to the north by the Proterozoic Gawler Craton. The formation of the basin is related to the period of continental stretching preceding the opening of the Southern Ocean, commencing in the mid-Jurassic. The geophysical interpretation described in the report is based on the 1983 and 1984 Getty Oil marine seismic surveys run in EPP21, tied with stratigraphic data from Platypus 1, Echidna 1 and Duntroon 1. It analyses the structural configuration and evolution of the area, in particular to clarify the roles played by the rift phases and the post-rift movements in the deformation of the sedimentary cover. The study also examines the influence of these tectonic movements on the distribution of the seismostratigraphic sequences, and their relation with the hydrocarbon potential of the area.
