Northern Parkes Geoscience Database (Revised Version)

Abstract

GIS formatted datasets include 1:250 000 scale geology; gravity data; drill holes, mineral deposits, petrological data, stream sediment data, grab samples, basement depth, exploration licences, geographical information, geophysical contours and imagery (TMI, DTM, Ternary Radiometric and Landsat) Apart from the geophysical images, these datasets have not been updated during the 2012 upgrade of this Data Package. All other datasets remain current to the original date of publication (Dec. 1997). Contact Geospatial for more information. Full coverage across two 1:250 000 sheets (Narromine SI/55-3 and Nyngan SH55/15) and coverage across twelve 1:100 000 sheets (Boona Mount - 8332, Tullamore - 8432, Peak Hill - 8532, Tottenham - 8333, Dandaloo - 8433, Narromine - 8533, Nyngan - 8334, Warren - 8434, Bundemar - 8534, Canonba - 8335, Mount Harris - 8435, Gulargambone - 8535 ).

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 Also note that the GIS data in this package was compiled in 1997 using the now-superseded AGD66 datum but has been reprojected to the current (GDA94) datum as part of the October 2012 upgrade. This update includes: Reprojected GIS data (Transformed from AGD66 datum) to GDA_1994_MGA_Zone_55. 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. Updated geophysical images Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI, 50m, 1VD RTP), Digital Elevation Model, Composite KUTh Radiometric, Landsat Image.
