The drilling was carried out on 22-23.07.2023. The bedrock is built up by siltstone and sandstone. At the drilling site, they are covered by thick-bedded beach sediments. During the drilling, a depth of 7 meters below sea level was reached, and with no further drilling progress, a decision was made to install a string to the depth obtained.

The borehole was located near the mouth of the Scott River (right bank), at a distance of about 75 m from the shoreline and 900 m from the station. After stopping the drilling progress again at 5 m below sea level, a decision was made to install a string in the third hole.

The drilling was carried out on 20-21.07.2023. The substrate is dominated by loose sandy-gravel beach sediments. A large amount of fine material and the formation of a core in a small part of the hole made it possible to reach a depth of 10.0 m below sea level.
