Following a gravity survey of the Perth Basin in 1951-52 (Thyer and Everingham, 1956), in which it was indicated that a sedimentary thickness of about 35,000 ft was probably present in the Perth Basin, several seismic traverses were surveyed across the Basin. This Record deals with one such reflection traverse which was surveyed between Quindalup and Donnybrook. The purposes of the survey were to find the thickness and dip of the sediments and to discover any faulting or folding within them. Results of the survey were inconclusive regarding the depth to basement but indications are that it is at least 8000 ft in the deepest part of the B,sin along this traverse. The sediments appear to be folded and faulted. There is evidence for the existence of a major fault east of the Dunsborough Fault, and the existence of the Whicher Fault was tentatively confirmed.
