DALHOUSIE
SPRINGS:
THE
SIMPSON DESERT & DALHOUSIE SPRINGS:
FACTS ABOUT
DALHOUSIE SPRINGS:
-
Dalhousie Springs lies
in the heart of arid Australia, a large oasis in one of the driest parts of
the continent. These are the largest artesian springs in Australia and are of
national and international significance. Dalhousie Springs are so isolated from other
bodies of permanent water that they contain many endemic animals.
-
The group of springs,
collectively referred to as Dalhousie Springs includes Missionary Spring, Mt
Jessie Spring, Earwanyera, Warrarrinna and Dalhousie Springs Proper.
-
There are
approximately 100 springs and mounds at Dalhousie, of which about 80 are
active and are spread over an area of only about 70 km sq. Some springs have
such large outflows that the group as a whole accounts for about 43% of
the natural flow of water from the Great Artesian Basin. Some of the
springs have large pools at their source, others are cold seeps. Long
drainage channels from the larger springs become extensive swamplands which
like the spring mounds and pools, support a lush vegetation.
