Radiometric investigations in the Daly River area, Northern Territory

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

The area investigated, now commonly known as the Daly River Area, is situated on the north-eastern bank of the river, about 35 miles from the river mouth, and approximately 80 miles south of Darwin. The present survey was made in July 1950, in conjunction with work being done by the Bureau at Rum Jungle, and was a general investigation for possible radioactivity in the district. Although no radioactivity of interest was detected, it is considered desirable that the results of the investigation should be recorded. The geology of the area, field work, and results are described in this report.
