Abstract
A new digital surface geology dataset covering Australia at 1:1 million scale was released recently by Geoscience Australia. The digital map, which depicts geological units and structures seamlessly across state and territory borders, will provide an invaluable baseline dataset for national and regional evaluation of resources as well as environmental management and land use decision-making. This national project was undertaken with the full co-operation of the geological surveys of each Australian state and the Northern Territory who provided their most recent map data for the national compilation as well as their advice in resolving stratigraphic issues.
