Annotation
The property is underlain by Ordovician Moina Sandstone and Tertiary basalt. No previous water bores have been drilled in the sandstone and therefore predictions of a water bore yield cannot be made. A water bore, sunk in basalt on the lower parts of the property, is expected to produce groundwater suitable for general domestic and gardening purposes.
