Natural Sciences Loop - Lake Bindegolly, Thargomindah
Lake Bindegolly National Park centres around one of the most important wetland systems in South West Queensland. The lake system supports a diverse range of flora and fauna, and is home to more than 195 species of birds including parrots, galahs, cockatoos, honeyeaters, fairywrens, swans, wedge tailed eagles and whistling kites; 80 other kinds of animals, and 300 species of plants. The park features three lakes - the saline lakes Bindegolly and Toomaroo, and the freshwater Lake Hutchinson. A 9.2 km circuit walk skirts the edge of Lake Bindegolly. An observation point is located at the edge of the lake, and camping is permitted on the southern side of the road reserve.

Currawinya National Park 1/4 - Homestead Ruins, Bottles Galore, Waterhole Wildlife
A 13 Day Epic Adventure exploring Currawinya National Park in outback Queensland. Join the journey as I uncover Currawinya's secrets, in part 1 discovering the Caiwarro homestead ruins, and camp at Corni Paroo Waterhole and Caiwarro Waterhole.
Cairarro ruins have a wealth of relics to uncover, from decades of beer bottles dating back as early as the 1920's, tins, motors, and the remaining homestead structures. Imagine the life of the early Sheep shearers living on this remote station.
Corni Paroo Waterhole has numerous sites to choose from along the banks, with plenty of room to canoe or swim. Plenty of birdlife around in the mornings.
Caiwarro Waterhole offers several epic camp sites and a great bushwalking experience exploring up and down the waterhole edges for wildlife and relics, including the Brolga and Major Mitchell's Cockatoo.
Join me in part 1 for my discoveries of what Currawinya has to offer the outback traveller.

Great Artesian Basin
In this short video, Dr Cresswell says Santos’ Narrabri Gas Project won’t impact the recharge of the Great Artesian Basin.
The Great Artesian Basin underlies about 1.7 million square km of Australia. It is about 1 fifth of the continent. It comprises a whole stack of sediments laid down over millions of years. Those sediments are all different types. Sandstones, siltstones, mudstones, all in layers. So they form a basin that is wrinkled, morphed a little bit and then it’s tilted a little bit so that on the eastern side it’s a little bit higher than on the western side.
Water gets in on the eastern side on the recharge zones and that flows slowly through all of those different layers and eventually discharges as springs.
The water in the GAB comes from rainfall falling on the recharge zones all around the margins and it slowly percolates down through the sediments over millennia.
The main recharge areas in the region around Narrabri for the GAB are in the Warrumbungle’s to the South and from the Namoi River alluvium system to the north. The area around where the gas project is in fact is a very low recharge area.
There are four sub basins to the Great Artesian Basin and they are isolated hydrogeologically so they the ground water in one basin does not flow into any of the other basins.
The Narrabri Gas Project is targeting waters underneath the GAB, they are not Great Artesian Basin waters, they are from the Gunnedah Basin, beneath the GAB and it is isolated from the GAB by some very fine grain sediments which do not allow water to go up or down between those two basins.
When a farmer is putting a bore down for water, he is drilling under the provisions of the water act, when a gas company is putting down almost exactly the same bore to get to gas, they are drilling under the provisions of the petroleum act and under that act they have much more strict and stringent requirements for the quality of that bore and the protection of all of the rocks that it goes through.
A gas company seals the top area with concrete, then put a separate seal down past through any of the groundwater sources and sealing that off with concrete as well and then they put another tube down through the middle of that so there is at least three levels of protection of any water supplies of the rocks that its going through.
A farmer’s water would not be impacted by any of the drilling that goes through the Great Artesian Basin to get to the gas.

Natural Sciences Loop - Artesian Time Tunnel, Cunnamulla
Step into the Artesian Time TUnnel and be transported back in time, 100 million years and hear the story of the Great Artesian Basin (the life and blood of the outback). Learn how the underground river flows beneath 1/5 of inland Australia and helps to water this great country.
The water from the aquifer is almost 2 million years old by the time we use it - if only it could tell tales of time past. Our landscape has been transformed and moulded by water and is obvious in the Paroo Shire with the Warrego & Paroo Rivers and the natural wonders of the mud springs and opals.

Wetlands by EMS
Are you planning to build on a piece of land? Have you checked your local wetland map? Environmental Management Systems will help guide you through this intricate process to ensure the best and most responsible use of your land.
Development projects often require determining the location and type of potential wetlands located on your site. Wetland delineations entail mapping the precise location of wetlands by observing overall site conditions, plant types and soil types. EMS explores options to avoid impacts. If impacts are unavoidable then EMS can assist with mitigation, enhancement, relocation or alteration of the wetlands.
