Aspects of petroleum exploration in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins of North East South Australia.
Comprising 34 X 35mm colour photo transparencies (slides) taken by Dr. Trevor J. Mount while employed as a geologist by Delhi Petroleum/Santos Ltd (Adelaide) in the exploration for oil and gas in the Cooper and Eromanga Basins. This major petroleum province is located in the Simpson Desert of far north eastern South Australia, and extends into Queensland. The images record a stage in the history of the area beginning with the early explorers (Bourke & Wills) who opened up the land ahead of the pastoralists (Kidman) and petroleum pioneers (Reg Sprigg, Bonython). At the start of the new millenium, the area was being developed for geothermal energy. See CONTENTS for more information and details.

Promoting the 'Prehistoric Cabaret'
This photo was taken as part of the promotion of the Glenelg Christmas Pageant in December 1954. George Haig, the caveman, at that time was a member of the Glenelg Fire Brigade and the cavewoman was Lorna Maddern who was then the senior sales girl at Mackenzies's Shoe Store in Jetty Road. George naturally projected the perfect image of a caveman but to further enhance that image, before departing for the Pageant, he whipped out the plate bearing most of of his false front teeth and parked it on a ledge in the old shed where the dinosaur was built. The shed was originally part of a racing stable and for years after that was a chook house before becoming a workshop. Even the most fertile imagination could never have conceived of the awesome composition of the thick dust on that ledge. However, on returning from the Pageant, George, in true caveman style, casually picked up his teeth and popped them straight back into his mouth. Ugggg! George became so immersed in his role of a caveman that Lorna had to complain about his enthusiastic tugging of a fistful of her long hair, for the full length of Jetty Road, leaving her feeling half scalped by the end of the parade. The Apex Club of Glenelg's pet Tyrannosaurus, was originally created for the Apex 'Prehistoric Cabaret' held in the Glenelg Town Hall on 20 March 1953. He was affectionately called 'Claude' and featured in many Apex activities for years after the original event until storage of such a huge beast became impossible. When his den, just behind the National Bank on Jetty Road, was demolished he was sold to the Apex Club of Gawler where, after many more years of service to Apex, he was finally reluctantly cremated.
