August 4 - 1918, Cnw Head - Lorn Head.
Immediately to the north of Lorn Head on the reefs at low tide may again be seen a good display of the Porom sandstone with a dip of 45°S Dunstan stuff. If 400 yards farther as he goes for this at 47°923 feet, Go E., there can be no doubt that it is in the Porom sandstone brought in here by faulting.
We failed at the time to note the characteristics of the contacts; it is now more certain that the dip and strike of this mass is about the same as that of the area to the north of Lorn Head. Therefore Logan is in error in saying that there is an anticline here and that it strikes between Cnw Head and Stray Island. There is no anticlinal structure anywhere in the area of Lorn Head.
At 4.30 P.M. we walked along the shore of Shallow Bay on the way back to camp. At Blunts Brnrn we were deflected inland to the bridge and the Environment Rail, just above rising on the ridge are found our Cnw Head conglomerate; in which the boulders are all small. On this we keep as see that the section repeats itself to the east of the fault and the Porom sandstone. The land north of Shallow Bay and Cnw Head Haven is all low during been cut out earlier by the prevailing seas of Pleistocene time.
At 5.15 the launch found us near Donnes Point and took us back to camp.
