This dataset displays areas of contact and regional metamorphism, and the style of metamorphism, mapped using using combined interpretations of airborne magnetic, radiometric and gravity survey data at 1:250,000. At scales larger than 1:120,000 the display is a combination of both 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 geophysical mapping. Recent 1:250,000 geophysical mapping has been of such quality and detail it has been used to supersede older coincident 1:100,000 mapping. This occurs in the following areas: St Arnaud 7524, Dunolly 7624, Charlton 7525, Wedderburn 7625 and part of Ararat 7423 are superseded by St Arnaud SJ54-4. Bendigo 7724, Heathcote 7824 and Nagambie 7924 are superseded by Bendigo SJ55-1. Balmoral 7223, Ararat 7423, Horsham SJ54-3 and St Arnaud SJ54-4 supersede Grampians 7323 where there is overlap. The Ouyen SI54-15 and Horsham SJ54-3 map areas are datasets derived from a combination of Geological Interpretation of Basement Geophysical Features maps and Geological Interpretation of Post-Cratonic Geophysical Features maps performed by Moore, D. H. This data has been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. This dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geological polygons and boundaries, sub-surface geological polygons, structural lines and miscellaneous lines.

soils from a variety of old studies (SCA, Dept. of Ag etc)

The data contains areas of duricrust; ie regolith material indurated by a cement, or the cement only, occurring at or near the surface, or as a layer in the upper part of the regolith. The cement may be, e.g., siliceous, ferruginous, aluminous, gypseous, manganiferous, calcareous, dolomitic, salty or a combination of these. The dataset is part of the geological mapping dataset, which includes datasets representing geological rock units and boundaries, structural lines, miscellaneous lines and points, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. Data have typically been captured in projects covering 1:100,000 mapsheets, and have typically been recorded in the field by hand at 1:25,000 then prepared for hard copy printing at 1:50,000.

The data displays Coal polygon data in a very limited area close to Zumsteins in the Garmpians The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geology outcrop and boundaries, structural lines, miscellaneous lines and points, metamorphism, and placer deposits. Sourced from the Northern Grampians Special 1:50,000 Map 1997 COALINVSBD has a better state wide perspective (from the Victorian Coal - A 2006 Inventory of Resources)

Estimated long-term mean annual rainfall interpolated to a 100m grid cell using data resampled from VICMAP_ELEVATION_DTM_20M and the ANUCLIM software.

This dataset contains primary geological data, namely boundary types separating rock units. Other geological features (e.g. fault or dyke) are included where the feature forms a boundary to rock units. This layer has been superseded by the Seamless Geology layers for Faults - SG_SHEAR_DISPLACE_STRUC_250K Contacts - SG_GEOL_UNIT_CONTACT_250K The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing structural lines, miscellaneous lines, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits.

Details the location and attributes of each coalfield in Victoria. Spatial accuracy defined as attribute "Loc_Acc". This dataset has 3 lookup tables: COALINVFLDS_BLACK and COALINVFLDS_BROWN. Note that 1 field can have many seams. Also COALINVFLDS_WATERUSE LUT joins to this dataset. For all COALINV data the LUT table COALINV_KEY contains the key info for each dataset.
