Expedition probes quartz reef belt near Ayers Rock in desert
The 1902-era survey led by Mr Cutlack and Mr Hughes examined cairns and a cave along a ridge between Lake Amadeus and Ayers Rock. They traced a camel track, studied vertebral quartzite ranges, and assessed a belt of slate and schist for mineral potential. Further verification of three-year-old samples could renew interest in possible quartz reefs.
