Description :
In this paper, the timing of incision and the relation between trunk stream and tributary streams are explained for Wolumla catchment on the south coast of New South Wales. To date, the linkage of tributary and trunk streams has been neglected in studies of cut-and-fill landscapes, yet this has significant impacts on the within-catchment transfer of water and sediment. This study also records how human impacts on the character and behaviour of the trunk stream may have profound secondary impacts (i.e., complex responses) elsewhere in the catchment.
