Thanks Rob, Good find, well done. Geographic Information Systems is what I used to do for a living and am still involved with, especially deploying online. The guys in SA were early adopters and I have been over a couple of times with work. I've also just been able to get some of the base data sets ...

See here; http://www.dlra.org.au/images/tn-catchment.jpg What I want to do next is overlay the topographic data on the catchment as well as locate Nonning and Womera...

I wish we had an OS map of the state so we could see which way surface water flows. Surely the Dept of Water Land and Biodiversity Conservation would have one? (Say that 3 times fast!). I trawled online and came up with: m and Contact information Contact organisation: Department of Water, Land and ...

At the meeting on Sunday there were a lot of people asking a bucket load of questions about the atmospheric, biological, geological and historical aspects of the Lake. The standard answer was, I don't know. Well it's about time we had some answers. I've spent a fair bit of time yesterday doing some ...

randy, I dunno where your getting your info from but the catchment for the Lake certainly doesn't go that far north. Here are the drainage catchments for Australia.
