A band across northern Queensland, Australia, was studied in 1995 by a magnetometer array experiment in two parts: a western part (Q1), and an eastern part (Q2). Forty-three sites were occupied in all, by Flinders University magnetometers which recorded in three components at intervals of 1 min. A major purpose of the study was to further clarify the position and indeed the existence of a major electrical conductivity anomaly, suspected to exist in the area from earlier reconnaissance observations. The arrays were successful in clearly delineating the path of the conductivity anomaly, here termed the Carpentaria conductor. It is seen to continue up the eastern side of the Mt Isa Inlier, from where it was mapped in detail previously in southern Queensland. The results show the anomaly to be offset from the `Tasman Line', which is thought to indicate a major structural boundary in the Australian Continent, and which possibly has a conductivity anomaly associated with it further south. Elsewhere the array results give a clear measure of the coast effect of northeast Australia, and they set the magnetic variations recorded at Charters Towers Observatory in the context of the coast effect.
