The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) [1] of Australia is the largest and deepest artesian basin in the world, extending over 1,700,000 square kilometres (660,000 sq mi). Measured water temperatures range from 30 to 100 °C (86 to 212 °F).
Elizabeth Springs is one of a suite of nationally important artesian springs in the Great Artesian Basin, which is the world's largest artesian basin. The artesian springs have been the primary natural source of permanent water in most of the Australian arid zone over the last 1.8 Million years (the Pleistocene and Holocene periods). These ...
Geologically the Australian state of New South Wales consists of seven main regions: Lachlan Fold Belt, the Hunter–Bowen orogeny or New England Orogen (NEO), the Delamerian Orogeny, the Clarence Moreton Basin, the Great Artesian Basin, the Sydney Basin, and the Murray Basin.
The Eromanga Basin is a large Mesozoic sedimentary basin in central and northern Australia. It covers parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia, and New South Wales, and is a major component of the Great Artesian Basin. The Eromanga Basin covers 1,000,000 km 2 [1] and overlaps part of the Cooper Basin.

The Eumeralla Formation of Dinosaur Cove and the Wonthaggi Formation in Victoria, Australia, contain a number of dinosaur fossils and tracks from the Early Cretaceous. The Tahora Formation represents the reptile assemblage of Cretaceous New Zealand. [7] The Great Artesian Basin is a remnant of the inland Eromanga Sea
This article deals with surface water rather than groundwater basins, such as the Great Artesian Basin. Australia has twelve distinguished NCB Level 1 drainage divisions [ 1 ] or thirteen [ 2 ] after splitting the South East Coast division at the New South Wales – Victoria border as defined by the Australian Water Resources Assessment 2012, a ...
Its water comes from part of the Great Artesian Basin aquifer. The Springs complex appears to be recharged by water thousands of years old, percolated down through the beds of Finke and nearby arid zone rivers, which overlie parts of the Great Artesian Basin. As a geological feature, it is unique in Australia. [1]
