Show Underground Rivers in Australia. There are comparatively few rivers of any size or importance in Australia, and a local learned professor of science sci-ence has been explaining the reason. In consequence of the geological formation for-mation of the commonwealth most of its rivers are at present imprisoned subterranean streams. . He declares that one of these underground under-ground rivers is the largest in the world, being no less than 200 miles wide and running right through the center of the continent. If these vast supplies of subterranean waters were brought to the surface and properly utilized Australia would become the richest country in the world. |
