Physical Features. 



Springsure is .situated at the termination of a branch, 

 line 40 miles long, running sauth from Emerald which i.s- 

 166 miles we.st of Rockhampton. 



The basal rocks of the area are sediments of lat& 

 Palaeozoic age and piled on these are accumulations of 

 volcanic rocks. These have been weathered down and very 

 much dissected but they act as a divide between the Comet 

 River on the east and the Nogoa River on the west which 

 join further to the north to form the MacKenzie River.
