Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

In 1960, the Bureau of Mineral Resources, in association with the Geological Survey of Queensland, commenced a programme of regional mapping of the Bowen basin, Queensland. The primary aim of this programme was to assist the search for oil in the basin. Two parties were in the field during 1960. This progress report covers the work of one of these parties; the Mt.Coolon party, which mapped most of the Mt.Coolon 4-mile area.
