This record reports on an extensive investigation carried out during 1959 which showed that very large resources of brick-making material occur in weathered sedimentary rocks of the Riverside Formation, which forms a belt about a mile wide and more than 5 miles long extending north-westerly past Crace trigonometrical station, at the northern extremity of Canberra City District.
