One of the most distinctive features of Cooper Creek's anastomosing channel system is the preponderance of waterholes, enlarged segments of channel ranging in length from 100 m to over 20 km. They play a significant hydrological and geomorphological
role in the Cooper Creek anastomosing system. They provide long-term water storage in an arid environment, and their fixed position helps to maintain the stability of the multi-channel pattern.

Greaves Creek has cut a hanging valley through the entire Triassic sandstone sequence near Blackheath in the western Blue Mountains. The course of the creek is related to joint directions. Topographic asymmetry expressed as unequal slopes
of the valley sides is related to differential insolation, erosion, vegetation cover, bioturbation and fire intensity. Vegetation structure and floristics within Greaves Creek valley are related to physiography of the valley and to aspect through their effects
Late Holocene fluvial change in a tufa-depositing stream : Davys Creek, New South Wales, Australia

Australia ; Climatic variation ; Fluvial erosion ; Fluvial terrace ; Holocene ; Karst ; New South Wales ; Palaeo-environment ; Stratigraphy ; Stream ; Tufa
In this study, the first of its type in temperate Australia, the AA. used geomorphological and sedimentological evidence preserved in fossil tufas and alluvial terraces to investigate the fluvial history of Davys Creek. The nature and timing
of fluvial changes along 2 quasi-independent reaches of the creek were synchronous, suggesting the operation of externally driven processes rather than local internal fluvial adjustments. This paper aims to reconstruct the sequence, timing and causes

in the headwaters of Killimicat Creek, New South Wales, are determined from mineral magnetic measurements. The results show that most of the magnetic mineral component is associated with sediment particles, rather than the discrete heavy mineral component.

The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct the Holocene evolution of the digitate fluvial delta on Middle Creek, Narrabeen Lagoon, NSW. Therefore the landforms of the delta plain were mapped, historic delta changes were determined
The character and age structure of valley fills in upper Wolumla Creek, south coast, New South Wales, Australia

This paper describes the nature of valley fill deposits at the base of the escarpement in part of Bega catchment. Extensive valley fills, up to 12 m deep but no greater than 300 m wide, have formed in the upper reaches of Wolumla Creek, a north
-south aligned subcatchment. The sedimentary character, nature of depositional processes, and age structure of the valley fill deposits are analysed.
A reconstruction of the morphodynamics of a creek channel on the basis of the graining of alluvia, Cooper Creek basin, Australia

Evidence is presented here of recent and extensive infilling of the incised channel network of the Jugong Creek catchment, SE Australia. The colonisation of the channel network is widespread and is resulting in deposition of fine-grained sediment
Paleoflood analysis of an alluvial channel in the south-central Great Plains: Black Bear Creek, Oklahoma
This paper explains the detection of slackwater deposits within a humid climatic setting and use of these deposits in paleoflood reconstruction. Assessing the flood frequency distribution of rare floods in the south-central Great Plains
The Indarri Falls travertine dam, Lawn Hill Creek, northwest Queensland, Australia
Indarri Falls is a spectacular travertine dam which impounds Lawn Hill Creek, a perennial karst stream draining the Barkly Tableland in northwest Queensland, Australia. Carbonate precipitation at the Falls is favoured by downstream changes
the middle reaches of lawn Hill Creek from a fluvial to a lacustrine environment.
