Location: | Flinders – 330490. Adjacent to the junction of the Merricks – Merricks North road. | |
Access: | Merricks North road. | |
Ownership: | Mainly private land with some Crown Land. | |
Geomorphology: | Coolart Creek, at the point where it is crossed by the Merricks North road, was formerly a tributary of East Creek (Keble, 1950). This stream was captured by an entrenched tributary of Merricks Creek leaving an abandoned sector as a swampy wind gap. | |
Significance: | Regional. The site was formerly marked by a swampy depression but as this has been drained, there is little clear evidence of the former stream course. | |
Management: | Class 3. No particular land use management is necessary to maintain the significance of the site. | |
