The document contains metadata-like information about each of the serial cross-sections created as part of the Bendigo Zone basement 3D modelling program. Discussions of constraints such as the biostratigraphy are included as are notes on issues that arose as a result of the construction of these sections. The full size 1:250000 sections and potential field and mapping datasets are available on request but these are not available for download.

This OGC Web Map Service delivers data from Geoscience Australia's Boreholes database (borehole header and directional survey data) and associated geological observations (lithostratigraphic data). The data includes records of boreholes drilled by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor organisations (BMR, AGSO), all boreholes drilled in Australian Commonwealth offshore marine jurisdictions, and a selection of onshore boreholes drilled by government and private entities. Where possible this service conforms to the GeoSciML v4.1 data transfer standard. The data dictionary for this web service is available at https://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/144576/144576_00_1.pdf. For information on borehole status definitions, refer to https://db-content.ga.gov.au/data_dictionary/Borehole_Status_vocabulary_2021.pdf. PLEASE NOTE: The layer and attribute names in this service have been modifed. This may break applications and other clients with dependencies on the service. For further information please contact Geoscience Australia Client Services at clientservices@ga.gov.au.

This data set is a classification of the Australian continent into 2-dimensional surface regions (Shaw et al, 1998). A geological region is a relatively large geographical area with a cohesive, albeit in some cases complex, geological assemblage (Bain and Draper 1997, AGSO Bulletin 240); significantly different in overall geology from the adjoining regions, and differs from a geological province in that it does not include depth or time dimensions.

Lines that represent contacts between geological units (eg, depositional, intrusive and faulted contacts), compiled for use around 1:1M scale. This layer is limited to display only at scales greater than 1:1,500,000.

Fault and shear structures, represented as lines, compiled for use around 1:1M scale. This layer is limited to display only at scales greater than 1:1,500,000.

This layer contains lines that complement the geology data, but are not classified as geological features (eg, coastline and other water boundaries, limits of mapping or available data), compiled at 1:1M scale. This layer is limited to display only at scales greater than 1:1,500,000.

Surface geological units (outcrop or near-outcrop bedrock and surficial regolith units) symbolised by age, compiled at 1:2.5M scale. This layer is limited to display only at scales less than 1:1,500,000.

Lines that represent contacts between geologic units(eg, depositional, intrusive and faulted contacts), compiled for use at or around 1:2.5M scale. This layer is limited to display only at scales between 1:1,500,000 and 1:20,000,000.

Fault and shear structures, represented as lines, compiled for use at or around 1:2.5M scale. This layer is limited to display only at scales between 1:1,500,000 and 1:20,000,000.
