Geological and Borehole Data for Southwestern Victoria and South Australia

The Australian Ocean Data Network compiled geological, borehole, and well data for a region in southwestern Victoria and southeastern South Australia. The report includes a geological sketch map and an overview of the area's geology, stratigraphy, and topography. It was last updated on 2026-06-05.

Use Cases

• Study subsurface geology based on compiled borehole and well records.
• Analyze regional stratigraphy based on the overview of Tertiary to Recent formations.
• Plan geophysical surveys based on the report's recommendations for the area.
• Map geological structures based on the included geological sketch map.

Strengths

• Compiles data from scattered exposures and principal bores in a region with poor surface exposure.
• Includes a geological sketch map and a review of considerable literature on the area.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is presented in PDF and HTML formats, which may require extraction for computational analysis.
