Red Tank bore gravity survey, Plenty River, Northern Territory 1960

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This Record describes a geophysical survey in the Plenty River area to test the efficacy of the gravimetric method in locating buried river channels. The results appear to indicate such a buried feature but the evidence is inconclusive. If subsequent bore-hole evidence confirms the presence of this buried channel the gravimetric method may be more widely used for this type of work.
