Abstract
SIR EDMUND TEALE'S recent observations on oil occurrences in Gippsland, Eastern Victoria (a summary of which appears on p. 27 of this issue), reopen in critical circumstances two fundamental though wider questions: if there exist commercial petroleum reserves in the Commonwealth of Australia, where are they and why have they not long since been exploited? Now, if ever, is surely the time to realize such assets if they are not for ever to remain frozen.
