A unique earthquake detection system: a blend of collaborative work from eyewitnesses and of data collection from seismic institutes. You felt an earthquake and want to add or see testimonies on a specific seismic event? Do you want to know if there are any earthquakes near you, or see the worldwide earthquakes in the last 24 hours?

This is a photo of a Yulkuparlu or River Red Gum growing beside Coopers Creek at Innamincka. More of a cluster of trees rather than a single trunk. The are very healthy at the moment, teeming with birdlife. Unfortunately the road into Coongie Lakes was still closed when we were there.
I was trying to find out the indigenous name for Coopers Creek. But it seems that there is not one single name because it is such a large area with many different channels, branches and permanent waterholes. I found some references that say the Yandrwandha people called it Yini minga meaning your waterhole from which we get the name of the town Innamincka.
I have found other references that name it Tingatingana.
I found this useful reference for the area.
