Mol/an The Springsure Sheet area is bounded by longitudes 147°E and 148°30'E and latitudes 24 oS and 25 oS; the eastern boundary is 170 miles from the coast near Rockhampton.

The annual rainfall is extremely variable; the average ranges from 24 inches in the west to 28 inches in the east (Fig. 1).· Most of the rain is cyclonic, and falls in January, February, and March; early summer storms occur from October to December, but the rest of the year is usually dry.
