The Bass Basin is a moderately explored Cretaceous to Cainozoic intracratonic rift basin on Australia's southeastern margin, underlying the shallow seabed between Tasmania and the Victorian mainland (Bass Strait; Figure 1). The basin contains proven commercial reserves of gas and condensate that are soon to be developed (Yolla gas field, Origin Energy Resources Ltd-operated BassGas Project). Other discoveries in the basin include the White Ibis and Pelican gas fields. To date, the 32 wells drilled have targeted Upper Cretaceous to Middle Eocene reservoirs within fault blocks and anticlinal structures. The targeted succession comprises interbedded fluvio-deltaic and lacustrine sandstones, siltstones and shales. The principal source rocks in the Bass Basin are interbedded coals (ranging from 5 to 25 m thick) and lacustrine shales of early Palaeogene age. Geochemical analyses show these source rocks have generated liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, with the coals being the dominant source for the liquids (Boreham et al., 2003).

Within the Perth region, a karst belt lies five kilometres inland from the coast and stretches for approximately 24 kilometres in a north west to south east direction. This area is made up of one main geological unit, the Tamala Limestone which is surrounded by residual sands formed from the erosion of the limestone.

At this scale 1cm on the map represents 1km on the ground. Each map covers a minimum area of 0.5 degrees longitude by 0.5 degrees latitude or about 54 kilometres by 54 kilometres. The contour interval is 20 metres. Many maps are supplemented by hill shading. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours, localities and some administrative boundaries. Product Specifications Coverage: Australia is covered by more than 3000 x 1:100 000 scale maps, of which 1600 have been published as printed maps. Unpublished maps are available as compilations. Currency: Ranges from 1961 to 2009. Average 1997. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA coordinates. Datum: AGD66, GDA94; AHD Projection: Universal Transverse Mercator UTM. Medium: Printed maps: Paper, flat and folded copies. Compilations: Paper or film, flat copies only.

Describes boninites from the Whundo belt, Pilbara Craton, and compares and contrasts these with other Archaean boninites and modern boninites. Results include recognition of 2 types of Archaean boninites - one similar to modern-day counterparts, and another type restricted to the Archaean.
