This Record describes a seismic survey made by the Bureau of Mineral Resources on the Bell Creek 17.3M dam site in central Queensland. This dam site is one of several under consideration by the Irrigation and Water Supply Commission of Queensland for the development of the Callide Valley. The depth to bedrock was found to average about 50 to 60 ft, with values ranging from 17 to 112ft. Dynamic elastic properties of the bedrock were derived from a consideration of the ground-roll waves.
