Border Rivers Karst - Subsoil karren

The Border Rivers Karst

The Border Rivers Karst Region is a group of small impounded karst areas that crosses the Queensland - New South Wales border. The best known area, known as the Texas Caves, includes the Glenlyon stream cave (4GL), which is a meander cutoff, and the adjoining caves of Viator Hill (4VR). The Ashford Cave (2AS) lies about 60 km to the southwest.

This page shows photos of the sub-surface karren.
