The Lake Buloke Salinity Province covers the large terminal lake system of the Avon-Richardson River, parts of which are significant wild life habitat. Its major features consist of the large “Lake Buloke” and small ancillary lakes together with their large lunette systems on their eastern sides. Extensive saline zones have developed in the lakebed when dry and in the lakeside lunette swales. |
