The Beaufort Salinity Province is an uplands province on the southern slopes of the Great Dividing Range with a mix of local to intermediate scale Groundwater Flow Systems. The salinity occurs as scattered patches that are mostly confined to drainage lines and may be associated with previous gold mining activity. |
