Amadeus Central, NT, 2000 (P1011), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 These line dataset from the Amadeus Central, NT, 2000 survey were acquired in 2000 by the NT Government, and consisted of 84668 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sk54-07)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

Crustal structure of the southern McArthur Basin, Northern Australia, from deep seismic sounding

Deep seismic refraction and vertical reflection recordings have been made in the southern McArthur Basin, over the Bauhinia Shelf and Batten Trough between Daly Waters and the H .Y.C. mineral deposit, and over the Wearyan Shelf between Borroloola and Westmoreland. In the Batten Trough, McArthur Group rocks have a velocity of 5.81 km/s; no velocity contrast was detected between them and basement. Over the Bauhinia Shelf, 100--200 m of Cainozoic, Mesozoic, and perhaps Cambrian sediments, overlie ?Roper Group sediments (P-wave velocity, V = 4.6 km/s). Below these are probable Tawallah Group rocks (V = 5.8-5.9 km/s). Magnetotelluric measurements define a resistivity contrast, possibly basement, at 6-9 km depth.  On the Wearyan Shelf at Borroloola, 370 m of Roper Group (V = 3.58 km/s) overlies 2.9 km of Tawallah Group (V = 5.55 km/s). At Robinson River, 650 m of Cainozoic, thin McArthur Group, and, perhaps, upper units of Tawallah Group (V = 4.81 km/s) were detected. Tawallah Group rocks (V = 5.44 km/s) crop out northwest of Robinson River and are about 2.8 km thick. Basement velocity is 6.04 km/s. Between Robinson River and Westmoreland, basement is 3.5-2.7 km deep. At Westmoreland the McArthur Basin sequence thins against the Murphy Ridge . A layer 260 m thick (V = 3.50 km/s) lies on top of a 2.4 km thick layer (V = 5.44 km/s), and the basement velocity of 5.99 km/s increases to 6.06 km/s towards Robinson River. At mid-crustal depths velocities are 5.9--6.9 km/s , and in the lower crust, to depths of 43 km in the west and 40 km in the east, 6.8-7.5 km/s. Below this, a velocity gradient is interpreted until upper mantle velocities are reached at 43-53 km depth in the west (V = 7.5-8.4 km/s) and 44 km in the east (V = 7.9 km/s). Generally, the crustal structure of the North Australian Craton is characterised by high lower-crustal velocities, broad velocity gradients, and thick crust, which probably evolved from an Archaean continental crust during Proterozoic tectonism.

Oaklands Basin, NSW, 2002 (Area W) (P1028), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Oaklands Basin, NSW, 2002 (Area W) (P1028), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 2002 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 54352 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Mean Annual Near Surface Evaporation between 1981 and 2006

This dataset is the mean annual surface evaporation between 1981 and 2006 and estimates potential evaporation using a variety of methods as as well as intermediary datasets. The main intermediary datasets relate to surface radiation but also include windspeed, vapour pressure deficit and air temperature. In addition, two 'reference datasets' are included: FAO56 crop reference evapotranspiration (Allen et al., 1998) and 'PenPan' evaporation (Rotstayn et al. 2006), which is synthetic US Class A pan evaporation.  The source data (maximum and minimum air temperature, vapour pressure) are not available through this website (see Jones et al. (2009) for access).
Each dataset describes a specific variable for a specific time-step.  That is, data are supplied as daily values as well as monthly and annual aggregates/averages.  Long-term (1981-2006) annual averages are also provided.  Specifics on the source data and the formulations used to generate each variable are outlined fully in Donohue et al. (2009).
CSIRO Land and Water is the custodian of this dataset and it can be downloaded from http://www-data.wron.csiro.au/ts/climate/evaporation/donahue

Esso Gippsland Shelf No 1 Well Victoria Of Esso Exploration Australia, Inc

Esso Gippsland Shelf No. I, Australia's first offshore well, was drilled by Esso Exploration Australia, Inc., in the Gippsland Basin, about sixteen miles off the Ninety Mile Beach, south-eastern Victoria.
Gippsland Shelf No. 1 was spudded on 27th December, 1964, reached a total depth of 8701 feet on 31st May, 1965, and was completed as a suspended gas well on 5th June, 1965. The 268-foot drilling vessel "Glomar III" owned and operated by Global Marine Australasia pty Ltd was used to drill the well.
The well penetrated a Tertiary section to 5378 feet and an Upper Cretaceous section from 5378 feet to 8701 feet, total depth. 353 feet of gas column was logged in the top of the Eocene Latrobe Valley Coal Measures, which proved to be productive by subsequent tests. Minor hydrocarbon shows in the Upper Cretaceous section are considered to be noncommercial.
Three production tests were made through perforations opposite sandstones in the Latrobe Valley Coal Measures; one to confirm the gas-water contact and two for reservoir evaluation. On the first and lowermost test from 3809 to 3814 feet the well flowed gas at the maximum rate of 1.63 MMcf/D and fresh water at the rate of 750 barrels a day. On the other tests the maximum flow rates were 6.85 MMcf/D plus 75 barrels of consensate a day, and 5.36 MMcf/D plus 79 barrels of condensate a day.
The well was the first offshore discovery in Australia, and gave the first significant production from the Latrobe Valley Coal Measures. It was also the first occurrence of a porous sandstone member in the Gippsland Limestone; the first occurrence of porous sandstone members in the Upper Cretaceous section; and the first occurrence of a Mesozoic section younger than the Strzelecki Group in the Gippsland Basin.
A new and unknown sandstone section some 369 feet thick was encountered in the lower part of the Gippsland Limestone. The areal extent of this section is as yet unknown. Otherwise the lithology of the Tertiary sequence was as expected.
The stratigraphic drilling operation at Esso Gippsland Shelf No. 1 was subidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1964, from surface to total depth.

Wangaratta VIC/NSW Hydrogeological map of the Murray Basin series 1:250 000

The objectives of hydrogeologically mapping the Murray basin were to generate a set of maps at 1:250 000 scale to: 

show the influence of groundwater on land salinisation and surface water salinity 
delineate useable groundwater resources 
highlight present and potential salinity hazard and 
enhance community awareness and understanding of groundwater systems and processes 

and provide a groundwater data-base for the Murray Basin to facilitate land and water resource management decisions. 
The production of the Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series was a major coordinated Government action in the management of groundwater to combat degradation through salinisation and enable sustainable land and water use in the Murray Basin.  The Hydrogeological Map Series was a collaborative effort between the various water authorities of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. 
Explaining this product in detail is an article by Evans, W.R. 1992, "The Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series", Water pp. 20-23.

Soil Resources

Soils are one of the key factors which limit human settlement in Australia. Few Australian soils are of good quality - most are naturally infertile. This map shows the extent of soil limitations across the country. 
In order to overcome problems associated with the many classifications in existence, this map classes soils according to limitations of use - in particular chemical and physical limitations. Altogether, four primary groupings are shown and these are further divided into a total of 29 mapping units. A detailed table relates these units to traditionally classified soil profiles and landforms.
