A geological reconnaissance of the Townsville-Bowen region, Northern Queensland

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This report contains the results of brief geological investigations carried out in conjunction with the Land Research and Regional Survey Unit to provide information on land types and their distribution in the Burdekin River Valley. A geological map and sections at the horizontal scale of 4 miles to 1 inch have been compiled from air-photo interpretation controlled by widely spaced land traverses. An account of the stratigraphy is given, and palaeontological reports on the fossils collected appear as appendices.
