Location: | 4-286360. Three kilometres south east of Kawarren. | Valley swamp south of Kawarren |
Access: | Kawarren East Road. | |
Ownership: | Crown land. | |
Geomorphology: | The wide flat valley floor of a tributary of Porcupine Creek is swampy and supports a dense wet heath vegetation. Peat has accumulated to a thickness of at least two metres indicating a long history of blocked or impeded drainage at some point lower in the valley. | |
Significance: | Regional. The cause of the extensive swamp development is not clear. The peat would provide a basis for studies of vegetation development and drainage evolution. |
