The isopach value field was used to interpolate a surface using the Topo to Raster tool in the Spatial analyst toolset. Isopachs were generated from the raster using the Contour tool in the 3d analyst toolset in ArcGIS. The raster and isopachs were clipped to a boundary created from : 1.

The approximate location of the Helidon Ridge (proposed name) - a basement ridge likely to define the hydrogeological boundary between the Surat and Clarence-Moreton basins in the GAB. To be used in conjunction with dataset 'Groundwater divide in the Hutton Sandstone boundary' (Geoscience Australia, Catalogue #77024, 2013) to define the easternmost boundary of the GAB. The approximate location of the Helidon ridge was interpreted from a GOCAD model layer of Base of Hutton Sandstone surface (Geoscience Australia dataset, Catalogue #76025, 2013). This data set provides an approximate location of Helidon ridge as a polygon in Shapefile format. The polygon represents the area in which the boundary is likely to be located, as the exact location is open to interpretation. Data is available in Shapefile format This data set was used in: Figure 5.3 in Ransley TR and Smerdon BD (eds) (2012) Hydrostratigraphy, hydrogeology and system conceptualisation of the Great Artesian Basin.

*** removed from website on advice from author *** 'Basins of Australia' map has been compiled as part of AGSO's studies of Australia's basins and continental margin. It shows outlines of all major sedimentary basins and sub-basins with their names both onshore and offshore. Outlines of sedimentary basins offshore were revised in 1995-96 to conform with new data/ideas on continental margin evolution and include volcanic margins features. The original compilation material included 44 published and unpublished contour maps (1977-1994) and 178 publications. The maps used for compilation varied in scale from 1:250 000 to 1:2 000 000, however, in some areas, where detailed maps were not available, small-scale maps (1:5 000 000 and even 1:10 000 000) were used to fill in the gaps. Large-scale maps have been generalised to conform to 1:6 000 000 scale of the final compilation. Most of the original maps reflected depth to basement (onshore basins, eastern and southern basins). In the absence of depth to the basement data, the deepest mapped horizon, or the horizon reflecting the main phase of rift basin development are portrayed (North West Shelf). The map shows outcrops of crystalline basement and Proterozoic basins. Different colour zones illustrate the age of oceanic crust. Plate tectonic elements, such as magnetic lineations, transform faults, continent-ocean boundary, subduction and collision zones are also included.
