Wabma Kadarbu Mound Springs Conservation Park

Located in South Australia's Far North, this conservation park is renowned for its natural mound springs, including the well-known Blanche Cup and The Bubbler. These springs are fed by the Great Artesian Basin, one of the world's largest groundwater sources, where ancient underground water rises to the surface, forming unique mounds and bubbling pools. These springs are not only geologically significant but also provide crucial habitats for native plants and animals in the arid environment.

The park has a rich history tied to early European exploration. Notable explorers like Peter Warburton and John McDouall Stuart traversed the area in the mid-19th century, often relying on the springs for survival during their expeditions. Additionally, the construction of the Old Ghan Railway in the late 19th century was influenced by the availability of water from these springs, which later became popular stopovers for travelers​.
