Finniss Springs Station |
The wetland associated with the Charles pastoral bore.
Flow from the Charles bore (measured at about 1.5 litres per second).
View of the artesian pressure from the bore - approximately 8 metres of water pressure.
View of the Morris bore - a bore which is already significantly affected by the commencement of operation of Borefield B, which started in November 1996.
Flow from the Morris bore - Arabunna say that the water used to reach the distant side of the pool (a horizontal distance of 7-8 metres) and be at boiling point. Since Borefield B began, flow has been dramatically reduced and the temperature has also decreased markedly, indicating the impacts of excessive groundwater pumping in the vicinity.
Wild horses or brumbies wanted a drink of water and wouldn't leave till we did!
The ruins of the old Finniss Springs Station Homestead.
