Just off the Oodnadatta Track south of William Creek were one of the many surprises of the tour, the Wabma Kadarbu Mound Springs.
I have always associated springs with low lying areas but here, springs emanating from Australia's Great Artesian Basin, have created mounds several metres high.
Over millions of years, the springs have brought up sediment which has gradually created a mound rising above the surrounding salt flats and from which the spring water flows and then freely runs down the side of the mound. While the water is fresh, it is quite hot.
This one is called Blanche Cup. The large mound at the top left of the shot is a large extinct spring
Lovely pov with the bus behind the mound. Your country has so many beautiful and interesting parts. Thank you for bringing these to us in your photographs and allowing us to share them with you.
Another wonderful series of shots. Wonderful info. I agree with Shirley's . Thanks for sharing pictures and info about a country I will never get to see for myself!
Wow an oasis in the desert! Is the water drinkable Terry? I agree with @shirleybankfarm@janiskay Shirley and Janice thank you for sharing such an interesting trip with us!
