At the request of the Minister for Works and Housing, a geological survey of the Canberra Brickyards was commenced in October 1949, to determine present reserves of brick making materials. This interim report contains a description of the strata and structures exposed in the brick pits, and details of estimates of shale reserves. A full geological report will be prepared when the extended survey is complete.
