Chlamydogobius gloveri Dalhousie goby The Dalhousie goby occurs in approximately 28 springs at Dalhousie Springs (shown by the black dot) where they are usually common (Kodric-Brown and Brown 1993). At Dalhousie Springs, the principal threat is the potential introduction of exotic species, however no introductions have been recorded yet. The reproductive biology of the Dalhousie goby appears to be similar to other Chlamydogobius species. www.utexas.edu /tmm/sponsored_sites/dfc/australia/fish/chlaglov.shtml   (237 words)

Australia's desert springs Most Australian springs are relatively small with a discharge of <1 l/s (1qt/s), only eleven springs have a discharge >5-138 l/s (1.25-36gal/s), and all are located at Dalhousie Springs (Smith 1989). Eleven "supergroups" of springs are recognised (Habermehl 1982, Ponder 1986). Many springs have a distinctive mound, thus they are often referred to as mound springs, although the size and composition of mounds vary between springs. www.desertfishes.org /australia/habitats/springs/springen.shtml   (237 words)

Australia Parks - National - Tourist - Caravan - Camping - Information Centre Dalhousie Springs form the largest complex of artesian springs in Australia and the rehabilitation and protection of this internationally significant area was one of the main reasons for the park's establishment. Before the Mount Dare pastoral lease was purchased from Rex Lowe and family by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (now National Parks and Wildlife SA), recreational use of the springs area was causing widespread degradation and the waterways were in danger of irreparable damage. Witjira National Park, established in 1985 on land comprising the former Mount Dare pastoral lease, covers 7,770 square kilometres of gibber, sand dunes, stony tablelands and floodplain country on the western edge of the Simpson Desert in the far north of South Australia. parks.camping.com.au /sa/sa_outback_witjira.htm   (662 words)
