Broken Hill Geoscience Database (Revised version)

Abstract

GIS formatted datasets include comprehensive geological and exploration data; geographical information; geochemistry data; geophysical data (TMI, DTM, Ternary Radiometric, Gravity and Landsat). These datasets have not been updated during the 2012 upgrade of this Data Package. All datasets remain current to the original date of publication (October 2002) Contact Geospatial for more information. Partial coverage across two 1:250 000 sheets (Broken Hill SH/54-15, Menindee SI/54-3) full coverage across six 1:100 000 sheets (Corona - 7135, Fowlers Gap - 7235, Broken Hill - 7134, Taltingan- 7234, Thackaringa- 7133, Redan - 7233) and full coverage across twenty-three 1:25 000 sheets (Balaclava, Brewery Well, Broken Hill, Campbells Creek, Corona, Euriowie, Gairdners Tank, Glen Idol, Kinalung, Lakes Creek, Mount Gipps, Oakdale, Pinnacles, Purnamoota, Redan, Rockwell, Silverton, Stephen's Creek, Thackaringa, Triple Chance, Umberumberka, Yalcowinna, Yalco Glen).

Comments

The GIS data contained in this Data Package was originally compiled for earlier (now unsupported) versions of ESRI & MapInfo GIS software. As a result, some of the customisation originally incorporated into these packages may not completely function in more recent ESRI & MapInfo GIS software. Also note that the GIS data in this package was reprojected to the current (GDA94) datum as part of the October 2002 release. This update includes: Reprojected GIS data (Transformed from AGD66 datum) to GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_54. Creation of MXD and PMF files for improved ESRI functionality. Updated workspaces for enhanced performance in more recent versions of Mapinfo. Creation of KMZ files for operability within Google Earth. ESRI/Arc Shapefiles, MXD, PMF and APR - MapInfo Tables, Workspaces and MBX - Google Earth KMZ and Tour/Fly-Over.
