Summary of regional survey of the Cotter River area, carried out by student geologists, WJ Orme and HM Harris

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

This work was undertaken to extend regional mapping in the central and western portions of the A.C.T. and to provide a geological map of the Cotter River Area for use in engineering investigations. The regional geology portion of the Cotter Valley between Gingera and Bull's Head had previously been mapped on a scale of 1/2 mile to the inch, and this map was extended, by the recent survey, northwards to the Territory border and north-easterly to the Murrumbidgee River.
