- Biography/History:
-
The Geological Survey of Victoria's first four quarter sheets covering the Melbourne metropolitan area were completed by 1858. Geologist C. D'Oyley Aplin and his field assistants would have gleaned their geological data by digging around the city and suburbs, examining road cuttings, river embankments and building sites. Their findings were then overlaid on Survey Department maps of the area to produce the geological quarter sheets. Note that some of the features shown like Batman's Hill and the West Melbourne swamp are no longer to be seen -- Taken from Beneath our feet : the early years / Dept of Primary Industries, Victoria (as viewed on February 11, 2008 at Internet site: http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/DPI/nrenmp.nsf/FID/-8B5B2CF1F7A00BBACA256CF00013AFE7?OpenDocument)
