Dispersion of Rayleigh Waves across Australia

Summury The history of seismological investigations of Australian crustal structure is outlined. New measurements have been made of phase and group velocities of Rayleigh waves for a number of continental paths. The most extensive empirical dispersion curve comes from a Solomon Islands earthquake which lies near a great circle through the Charters Towers and Perth observatories. This curve is in general agreement with published values for the Canadian Shield. It indicates a mean crustal thickness between 30 and 35 km. Some variation in crustal properties is indicated towards the northwest. The average crust under the Coral Sea may be 30 per cent thinner than that under the continent. In this paper measurements of dispersion in Rayleigh waves recorded at Brisbane, Charters Towers and Perth seismological observatories are presented. Comparison of these data with similar measurements for the Canadian Shield and with theoretical dispersion curves provides fresh evidence on the structure of the Australian continental crust. Broadly, the continent may be divided into three main geological provinces (cf. Bureau of Mineral Resources, 1960). The great Pre-Cambrian Shield, with

The Charters Towers Goldfield

THE Geological Survey of Queensland has published a very complete description of the Charters Towers goldfield by Mr. J. H. Reid (Publication No. 256). Although this was for long the most important goldfield in Queensland, and had, in fact, for many years the largest gold output of any of the individual goldfields in the whole of Australia, no full account of the geology of the field or of the nature of the ore deposits has yet been published, so that the issue of the present monograph is fully justified. Furthermore, had the issue of such a work been delayed much longer, it could never have been carried out effectually, as many of the mines are now closing down. The goldfield was discovered in 1871, and ten years later the gold production was close upon 75,000 oz. of gold bullion; in 1887 this output had doubled, reaching 151,500 oz.; and in 1899 the highest output, namely, 319,572 oz. of fine gold, was attained. From that time the production has been a steadily declining one, the drop since 1912 having been particularly rapid, until in 1916 the output was only 33,107 oz.
