The BMR was a geological survey with the main objective was the systematic geological and geophysical mapping of the continent as the basis for informed mineral exploration. [ 6 ] Geoscience Australia's activities have expanded and today it has responsibility for meeting the Australian Government's geoscience requirements.

Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG) was an Australian organization that merged in 2001 with the Australian Geological Survey Organization to become Geoscience Australia. Its headquarters building was located in Canberra, Fernhill Technology Park. [1] AUSLIG's main function was to provide national geographic information. [2]
Simplified geological map of the Kimberley region, showing the three major zones of the Lamboo Complex. Inset shows the location on the continent of Australia. The current regional geology of the Kimberley can be divided into three major units: [2] the Kimberley Craton (underlying the Speewah and Kimberley Basins).
Each edition refers to the specified geological origins of the information (from the 2007 edition): "Geology generated from Myers, J.S., and Hocking, R.M., 1998, Geological map of Western Australia, 1:250 000 (13th edition): Western Australia Geology Survey"—T.p. verso.
Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) is a government agency responsible for mapping the geology of Victoria, Australia.. The Geological Survey was founded in the 1852 in the Victorian gold rush era, and proceeded to actively explore the state of Victoria for geological and mineral resources, discovering and mapping extensive gold, brown coal and petroleum resources.
A geological survey is the systematic investigation of the geology beneath a given piece of ground for the purpose of creating a geological map or model.Geological surveying employs techniques from the traditional walk-over survey, studying outcrops and landforms, to intrusive methods, such as hand augering and machine-driven boreholes, to the use of geophysical techniques and remote sensing ...
