Description

A field inspection of the Daly River between Beeboom Crossing and Daly River Crossing in July 2005 did not locate any major springs associated with the Tindall Limestone. Spring flows from the limestone amounted to 170 L/sec. while downstream of the Daly Basin 470 L/sec. was added from various aquifers in Proterozic aged rocks. The river gains some 5 cumecs between the Beeboom Crossing and Mount Nancar gauging stations. The bulk of this is thought to originate from the Tindall Limestone, probably through unseen discharge into the river bed. Thermal springs were located at the base of the Rock Candy Range. They are associated with faulting in Proterozoic sandstone and dolomite., Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
