The Bureau of Mineral Resources made an experimental seismic survey in the Otway Basin, Victoria and SA, and in the Sydney Basin, NSW, from April to November 1965 and from mid February to mid March 1966. The survey used explosives as an energy source to obtain seismic reflection data for comparison with the results from an experimental 'Vibroseis' survey carried out for the Bureau by Seismograph Service Ltd during 1964.

Techniques for recording deep crustal reflections were developed on an experimental seismic survey at Mildura, Victoria and Broken Hill, NSW, during September to December 1968. The survey was carried out preparatory to a seismic reflection survey on the 'Geotraverse' project, a project initiated by the Australian Upper Mantle Commitee to study the Earth's crust and upper mantle along a line across the Precambrian shield in Western Australia.

<p>Geoscience Australia conducted the Gunnedah Basin Seismic Survey during January to April 1991. The major aim of the seismic survey was to record deep seismic reflection data across the Gunnedah Basin and bounding margins. The seismic survey would also address several problems relating to the geometry of structural units and major faults. The survey recorded 253 km of eight-fold Common-Middle-Point (CMP) seismic data. The seismic data have been processed, with the data showing good seismic reflection images of the main structural features targeted in the seismic survey.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74952</b>

Terrex Seismic was contracted by ANSIR to conduct seismic recording operations for Ballarat Goldfields NL to acquire approximately ten (10) kilometers of high resolution 2D data within the Ballarat region of Victoria. Recording commenced on the 8th May 2006 and was completed 3 days later on the 11th May 2006. The acquisition area of the Ballarat High-Res 2D was situated approximately eight (8) kilometers south of the township of Ballarat.

A ~400 km long deep crustal reflection seismic survey was acquired in central Victoria, Australia, in 2006. It has provided information on crustal architecture across the western Lachlan Orogen and has greatly added to the understanding of the tectonic evolution. The east-dipping Moyston Fault is confirmed as the suture between the Delamerian and western Lachlan Orogens, and is shown to extend down to the Moho. The Avoca Fault, the boundary between the Stawell and Bendigo Zones, is a west-dipping listric reverse fault that intersects the Moyston Fault at a depth of about 22 km, forming a V-shaped geometry. Both the Stawell and Bendigo Zones can be divided broadly into a lower crustal region of interlayered and imbricated metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks and an upper crustal region of tightly folded metasedimentary rocks. The Stawell Zone was probably part of a Cambrian accretionary system along the eastern Gondwanaland margin, and mafic rocks may have been partly consumed by Cambrian subduction. Much of the Early Cambrian oceanic crust beneath the Bendigo Zone was not subducted, and is preserved as a crustal-scale imbricate thrust stack. The seismic data have shown that a thin-skinned structural model appears to be valid for much of the Melbourne Zone, whereas the Stawell and Bendigo Zones have a thick-skinned structural style. Internal faults in the Stawell and Bendigo Zones are mostly west-dipping listric faults, which extend from the surface to near the base of the crust. The Heathcote Fault Zone, the boundary between the Bendigo and Melbourne Zones, extends to at least 20 km, and possibly to the Moho. A striking feature in the seismic data is the markedly different seismic character of the mid to lower crust of the Melbourne Zone. The deep seismic reflection data for the Melbourne Zone have revealed a multilayered crustal structure that supports the Selwyn Block model.

<p>The Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre (AGCRC), through Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic reflection survey in various localities in the eastern Lachlan Orogen of NSW, from October to November 1997. The objectives of the project were to obtain a better understanding of sub-surface geology at a regional and local scale and, in particular, provide more information on: 1. basement control on basin development 2. regional crustal thickness and major features within the basement 3. stratigraphic architecture of the basins 4. structural architecture of the basins 5. the location of fluid flow pathways The seismic survey acquired 105 km of 10 fold CMP (common midpoint) deep (20 second TWT) reflection seismic data along three traverses over a 6 week acquisition period. In addition to the seismic data, gravity observations were made at 300 m intervals along the lines. Drill cutting samples were also collected for analysis.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74883</b>

<p>Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic reflection survey in various localities throughout Tasmania between January and April 1995. This seismic survey formed part of AGSO project `TASGO' (b103201), a National Geoscience MappingAccord (NGMA) project carried out in conjunction with the Tasmanian Geological Survey (within Tasmania Development and Resources). The seismic survey obtained 134 km of 10 to 20 fold common mid-point (CMP) deep reflection seismic data along six traverses over an 8 week acquisition period. In addition, gravityobservations were made by the Tasmanian Geological Survey at 120 m intervals along five of the lines. Statewide aeromagnetic data has been interpolated to provide profiles along eachseismic line, and shot hole cuttings and water samples were taken for later analysis. The reflection crew provided support for AGSO's refraction and tomography data acquisition which is reported separately.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74942</b>
