Annotation
Four sites at South Arm were investigated in order to determine their shallow groundwater potential. Three sites are considered to have poor groundwater prospects due to the clayey nature of sediments and weathered materials overlying Permian sandstone and mudstone. One site at Halfmoon Bay is considered to have excellent prospects and a spear bore is recommended.
