Eildon and Part of Tallangalook—1:50,000 Geological Map

The Eildon 1:50,000 scale geological map covers an area of approximately 815 square kilometers that lies 200 kilometers northeast of Melbourne, Victoria. The area is in Victoria’s Eastern Highlands and is thickly forested and rugged, reaching elevations of 1,500 meters. This map is one of six geological maps that cover 4,310 square kilometers, mapping mountains surrounding rich historical goldfields from which more than 120 metric tons of gold were mined. The geological maps, and two geophysical interpretation maps, were published in conjunction with the Walhalla-Woods Point-Tallangalook special map area geological report in 2006.
