Abstract
Various geophysical techniques have been used over the last five years in the exploration of<br>mineral sand deposits in the Murray Basin, North-West Victoria, Australia. Radiometrics,<br>magnerics and graviry have featured prominently. Amongst the larger efforts spent exploring<br>in the Murray Basin, a pro-geophysics and anti-geophysics experience has emerged. An<br>analysis of what is needed to make successful use of geophysics is given and warnings about<br>the pitfalis are also given.
