A seismic reflection traverse was surveyed across the Perth Basin through the township of Gingin. The traverse was planned to give information on the thickness of the sedimentary section, the structure of the Basin, and the aplicability of the seismic method as a tool for both regional and detailed investigation. The traverse was chosen to cross a major negative gravity anomaly (-110 milligals at Gingin) and to cross the so-called "Hill River Fault". A considerable thickness of section was indicated (in excess of 17,000 feet) and tectonic structure, not apparent in the surface geology, was shown. A deep-seated anticline, the Gingin anticline, was discovered.

The Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out a total of .12 crew months of reconnaissance and experimental seismic work in the Boulia - Bedourie area of the southeastern Georgina Basin in western Queensland during 1963-1964. The results show that the Toko Syncline extends south-eastwards under Mesozoic sediments, alluvial cover, and sand at least as far as the Sandringham - Lake Wickamunna area. In the area east of Pulchera, Waterhole, the Toko Syncline was shown to contain up to about 15,000 ft of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments and there was evidence of a considerable thickness of Proterozoic sediments beneath these. The cross-sectional shape of the Toko Syncline was defined, except for its western margin where results were poor and structure complex.

Trace Energy Services was contracted by The Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the 2003 Gawler Seismic Survey. The survey was situated in the Roxby Downs area in South Australia. Two lines were recorded in this area over seventeen days with a total of 250.8 km recorded. The aim of the survey was to resolve the tectonic setting of Olympic Dam for defining the Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineral deposit class for the economic reason. <b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74869</b>

An experimental seismic reflection survey was made at Tidbinbilla, ACT and Braidwood, NSW in 1969 to investigate the use of long spreads and common-depth-point profiling techniques for recording deep crustal reflections. The survey was complementary to an experimental seismic survey at Mildura, Victoria and Broken Hill, NSW in 1968 to develop techniques for recording deep crustal reflections preparatory to a seismic reflection survey on the 'Geotraverse', a line across the Precambrian shield in the southern part of Western Australia, along which the Australian Upper Mantel Committee initiated a project to study the Earth's crust and upper mantle.

Processed Stacked and Migrated SEG-Y seismic data and section images for the Southern Carnarvon Deep Crustal Seismic Survey. This survey was conducted under a National Geoscience Agreement with the Western Australia Geological Survey. Funding was through the Onshore Energy Security Program. The objective of the survey was to image the Byro Sub-basin of the onshore Carnarvon Basin. Data are supplied as SEG-Y files and PDF images. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

Geoscience Australia conducted the Yilgarn-Officer-Musgrave 2D Seismic Survey. The survey involves the acquisition of seismic reflection over the Yilgarn Craton, Officer Basin and Musgrave Province of Western Australia. The survey consisted of one line, totalling 484.2 kms. The project is a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Western Australia and is part of the ongoing cooperation under the National Geoscience Agreement (NGA). Funding of this project is through the Western Australian Government's Royalties for Regions Exploration Incentive Scheme and Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program. The primary objective of the project is to image the western Officer Basin, one of the Australia's underexplored sedimentary basins. In addition this survey will gather new data to improve the understanding of the Yilgarn Craton and its boundary with the Musgrave Province.

Bureau of Mineral Resources conducted a seismic refraction survey during February 6th and March 5th, 1951. This survey aimed to resolve the shallow structure on the Comet anticlinal structure, 60 miles north of Rolleston for the oil exploration purpose.

<p>Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic survey in the central Eromanga Basin in Queensland from July to Late November 1982. This survey was a continuation of the work undertaken in 1980 and 1981 to investigate the structure, stratigraphy, geological and tectonic evolution, and petroleum potential of the area. The survey obtained 485 km of six-fold Common-Depth-Point reflection data, in the Adavale Basin, Cooladdi Trough and Pleasant Creek Arch areas.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74970</b>

During 1961 in the southern part of the Surat Basin a seismic party from the Bureau of Mineral Resources surveyed two main traverses by means of seismic reflection and refraction methods; the first was in an east-west direction between Yelarbon and St George and the second was in a north-south direction between Meandarra and Nome. The main purposes of the survey were to find whether the Bowen Basin Permian sediments extend as far south as the latitude of Goondiwindi and whether the Bowen Basin in Queensland and the Sydney Basin in New South Wales formed a continuous region of sedimentation during the Permian period. The east-west seismic traverse indicated a trough of sediments of greatest thickness,tabout 14,800 ft beneath Toobeah; the trough is bounded on the eastorn side at Goondiwindi by a fault down-thrown more than 7000 ft to the west and is bounded on the western side by a series of step.-faults beneath Bungunya and Talweod. The results along the north-south traverse indicated that the trough beneath Meandarra, which represents the southern extension of the Bowen Basin, continues south to Toobeah. The nature of the link, if any, between the Bowen Basin and the Sydney Basin was not established. On the eastern side of the Surat Basin, seismic results indicated that the rocks beneath the Mesozoic sediments are stratified and probably metamorphic. A shelf area between Talweod and St George has about 6000 ft of sediments above a Drobablo metamorphic 'basement'. An anticlinal structure with a dip-reversal of about 1000 ft throw was located between Goondiwindi and Toobeah.

A Seismic reflection survey was conducted by the Bureau of Mineral Resources during 1955 7 in the La Grange area of Western Australia. The object orthe Survey was to investigate the sedimentary development of the Canning Basin south of the Fenton Fault. A sedimentary section of at least 4,400 feet and possibly as much as 7,000 to 8,000 feet was indicated. Although no evidence of an angular unconformity was obtained, there is probably a change in the type of sedimentation at 2,760 feet.
