This is desert too, either sandridge (Strzelecki Desert) or
stony desert (Sturt's Stony Desert) but running through the
middle is Cooper's Creek, fed by monsoonal rains in QUeensland
and normally ending up in vast floodouts in the middle of the
desert (every three-four years)

We have less challanging environmental problems. Our problem is that most
of the easy oil and gas is gone. There's far more left than has been
harvested over the last hundred years, but the required technology to get it
has just been developed. That, along with new 3-D sismographic software,
coupled with a hundred years of logging data, has reduced the risk greatly.
I can't see water (desert area) unless I go at least 300 miles from home.

Yes, except the oil is washed up into the Triassic/JUrassic sandstones by
the Great Artesian Basin hot water (!) Most gas stays in the Permian.
Disgusting water quality, one of my headaches. Holes crumble in the coal,
that's the engineers' problem...
Also, COoper Basin is very dispersed--small oil targets, widely spread.
I'm running my little leggies off doing the environmental for most of thje
smaller companies. And it's mostly in a Park. Not to mention Ramsar
treaty wetlands of international importance. At least I see water and can
go for a canoe if there's time (not...) No sailable water though. Must
visti Burke & Wills graves instead of driving past all the time...

I live in the Permian Basin. The oil boom is working everyone here hard.

Now *that* was funny.
Glad you dropped in for a moment, Taddy. Come back when you have more
time!
TIme isn't going to happen till next year, Feb. I appear condemned to
spend the height of summer commuting to the deserts... it's make money
while the oil boom is on. lady Kate hates me.
