Geological maps online

A handy resource for both prospectors and big cat hunters.

West Vic resolution only goes up to 250dpi, jpegs, ~4mb but still useful. Store in iPad and not stuff about with paper maps in car.

Good catch some interesting information in those maps, males it easy to identify the gold areas.

Nice one. You can see the Palaeozoic outcrops in the Western District that have got the exploration outfits interested in chasing copper.
Unfortunately they missed the new outcrop of granite that we discovered on Phillip Island.
