Report on geology of Leigh Creek coalfield

Created 16/10/2025

Following a request by the Premier of South Australia an inspection of the Leigh Creek Coalfield was made on December 5th to December 8th, 1941. My opinion was sought chiefly on the probability of there being a considerable tonnage of coal available which could be won by open cut mining, preferably from one section of the field, near Telford Siding.
