Geology of the northern Perth Basin is a 5-day field trip that will examine the Permian – Lower Triassic core, including from the Waitsia field and wells used to evaluate shale-gas, and the equivalent outcrops at Irwin River. The excursion also takes in Cretaceous exposures on Murchison House Station that are well known from the offshore Carnarvon Basin, the Siluro-Ordovician in spectacular coastal cliffs and the Murchison gorge. The purpose of the 3-day field excursion Sequence Stratigraphy & Sedimentology of the highly prospective Early Permian oil and gas play in the northern Perth Basin is to examine the beautifully exposed, regressive to transgressive, Early Permian sedimentary sequence along the Irwin River in the Coalseam Conservation Park. The excursion will focus on sedimentology and ichnofacies within a predictive sequence stratigraphic context and how these relate to depositional environment, lateral facies changes and changes in relative sea-level. Well logs, core and seismic examples will be used to compare the outcrop to the prospective play in the basin, providing attendees with the opportunity to better understand this actively explored depositional system. The Mines and Wines of southwestern WA excursion will examine five mines and a gasfield, view high-grade Leeuwin Complex metamorphics in a spectacular coastal setting, and visit several wineries in the highly-renowned Margaret River wine region. Mineral deposits include those of gold, bauxite, lithium-tantalum, coal and titanium-zircon (heavy mineral sand) as well as the Whicher Range gasfield. Delegates will also be driven past a number of mineral downstream processing facilities. All three field trips will be run after the conference, commencing on the 6 September 2019. The field trip costs include all transportation, accommodation and meals. The conference committee is confident that the field trip participants won’t be disappointed with the enlightenment and discussion of the geology provided by local expert geoscientists and the excellent outcrops that Western Australia has to offer.
