Great Artesian Basin: water from deeper down

Map appeared in J. Richert’s 1920 article ‘The flowing wells of western Queensland’ published in the Queensland geographical journal. The map depicts a geological fracture where artesian water ‘leaks’ into the Great Australian Bight. According to Richert, the origins of artesian water were both plutonic and meteoric. J. Richert, ‘The flowing wells of western queensland,’ Queensland geographical journal, 34, 1920

But we're sick of prayers and Providence - we're going to do without,
With the derricks up above us and the solid earth belo

Great Artesian Basin: water from deeper down

Rail survey plan depicting creek running with artesian water, 1895. Prior to construction, the Charleville to Cunnamulla railway was surveyed in 1895. Recorded landscape features were measured in distance from Charleville in miles, chains and links. There are 80 chains to a mile and 100 links to a chain. The Kudnapper Creek nearly 99 miles from Charleville, is shown to be running with artesian water from a local bore. Charleville and Cunnamulla Railway Permanent Survey, 0-121M.
