 Description of Wabma Kadarbu Mound Springs Conservation Park

Not a hole in the ground but a low mound around 10m high. Clear warm wateris out of bounds and is seen surging without a sound from the base of the pool at the top of the mound. Over the centuries minerals in the water have built up layer upon layer to make the mound higher. Surrounded by a harsh desert landscape.
