Coorong Maps
Maps of Coorong National Park
National Parks South Australia has produced excellent maps of the Coorong National Park.
Because the Park is long and narrow it is covered by a series of maps.
There is also a less detailed overview map.
Ephemeral lakes
Ephemeral lakes occur throughout the southern section of the Coorong National Park. The lakes only contain water during the wetter months and dry out during summer. They are filled by rainwater and magnesium rich groundwater. The waters of the lakes actively precipitate carbonate minerals due to evaporation. The lakes are very significant because examples of current dolomite precipitation are rare and the association of carbonate minerals is unique.
