- Summary:
-
Elizabeth Springs is at the eastern end of the Davenport Range, centroid 29*21S 136*46'E. On 10th May 1859, John MacDouall Stuart, during his second expedition in the vicinity of Lake Torrens, recorded a 'batch' of eight or nine springs. "I have named them Elizabeth Springs, [sic] There is enough water running to drive a flour-mill in two or three places. They are really remarkable springs such a height above the level of the plain; I saw them from a hill on Chambers Creek (The Twins). From whence do they derive their supply of water, to cause them to rise to such a height? It must be from some high ranges to the north-west, or a large body of fresh water lying on elevated ground. This is another strange feature of the mysterious interior of Australia".
