Geology and Petroleum Potential of the Clarence-Morton Basin, NSW and Qld. Bulletin 241. Compiled and edited by Wells and O'Brian. I wont say anything either, I don't want to spoil the suspense.Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632657395095391104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388608827926699865.post-66182396365979102652012-01-10T11:50:22.612+11:002012-01-10T11:50:22.612+11:00Hi Mark, You are right to raise this interesting p...Hi Mark, You are right to raise this interesting point. The Nymboida, Mann and other rivers are very unusual in relation to their confluence with the Clarence. I intend to write about this in the near future. In the mean time, have you thought about the possibility that the Clarence is flowing backward? Have a look at the direction the rivers join... just a tease until the new post.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962789743908134314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388608827926699865.post-40273739305191623822012-01-10T10:31:26.348+11:002012-01-10T10:31:26.348+11:00Another great and thought provoking post Rod!

I have always been intrigued by 2 rivers nearby.<br />The Orara rises only a few kms from the sea at Coffs before a long journey through the sandstone valley. The cliffs are so high that it must've been here for a longtime. It flows very close to Grafton, only seperated by low clay hills before heading into a very wild an inaccessible 'gorge' before entering the Clarence many miles upstream.<br />The Nymbodia is also tantalisingly close to Grafton before heading north on a very long and tortuous journey. When we drive out to Nymbodia there are dramatic cliffs that look to be the result of a fault. I have often wondered if the Nymbodia did take a more direct course to the Clarence many millenia ago?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671691808322770184noreply@blogger.com
