Rottnest Island — an app showcasing geotourism locations
GSWA has created a beta version of an app for mobile devices which allows users to find attractions, tours and walks in their location. The app finds users based upon their GPS coordinates or proximity to its iBeacons. Did you know that as well as sun, sand, and surf, the little rocky island of Rottnest has some geological features of international significance? GSWA has published a pamphlet on some of the world-class geology found on Rottnest. Using the pamphlet, you can visit nine geological sites round the island from West End (in the far west) to The Basin (just round the corner from Thomson Bay). GSWA has partnered with the Everythere app using its Rottnest Island brochure to allow geotourists to find out geological information when they are riding around the island.
Eucla–Gawler deep crustal seismic reflection and MT surveys
GSWA Open Day 2016 will see the release of processed images for the Eucla–Gawler deep crustal seismic reflection line, which is part of a collaboration between Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), the Geological Survey of South Australia and AuScope Earth Imaging (part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy). This 870-kilometre survey along the Trans-Australian Railway was conducted across Western Australia’s Nullarbor region during 2013 and 2014. The Eucla–Gawler region is a major geological frontier, buried by extensive sedimentary cover associated with the Eucla Basin (Nullarbor Plain). The region lies between two of the most prospective geological regions in the world, Western Australia’s Yilgarn Craton to the west and the Gawler Craton in South Australia to the east.

Community Partnership Award
This new award will publicly celebrate examples of outstanding leadership that have helped to build strong community partnerships and created positive and meaningful outcomes for communities throughout Western Australia.
Any community group, individual or company operating within Western Australia’s minerals, energy resources or extractive industries is eligible to nominate a project.
Nominations are now open.
All entries for the new award will be assessed against three criteria —leadership/innovation in engagement, benefits of the collaboration and commitment to providing sustainable, and enduring outcomes.
Nominations must be received by Friday 29 April. Submissions will then be considered by an Assessment Panel before a Selection Committee, chaired by DMP Director General Richard Sellers, makes the final decision.
Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Marmion will present the winners with their awards at the annual DMP Awards for Excellence night in October.
