A reconnaissance trip up the Strzelecki Creek to Cordillo Downs, down the Cooper and across to Mirra Mitta bore on the Birdsville track is described. A review of borehole and field evidence along the margin of the Great Australian Artesian Basin abutting the Flinders Range indicates inconsistencies in current stratigraphy. Evidence from the surface and from boreholes shows that the suspended subartesian basin or area of subartesian aquifers on Cordillo Downs extends 100 miles south of the Cooper, and 50 to 60 west of the South Australian/Queensland North-South border. Drilling to test for usable stock water to a depth of 1500 feet along the Cooper and the Strzelecki downstream of Innamincka is recommended.
