The accompanying image is an interpretation of the crustal temperature at 5km depth. It has been constructed using bottom-hole temperatures contained in the OzTemp well temperature database (an extract of which is available in a separate download).

This image has been constructed as a continental scale interpretation of the temperature field at 5km. It is intended to be used as an illustration of the variation of temperature within the Australian crust and as an indication of the geothermal potential of the country. It is not a detailed or absolute temperature model and it is not appropriate to apply it at anything less than the broadest region scale.
