[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 356144, member: 2976"] Exactly :D To be fair, it still isn't everywhere underneath there either. But still, the greatest likelyhood seems to me that it's abundant enough for there to be a fairly high rate of success even if you were randomly drilling holes. Of course, without comprehensive (and extremely expensive) testing, we'll never know. I reckon there's a good chance of enough water for a bore down at the back corner of my block. The reason is that the area is a broad, flat drainage channel down between two rows of hills - a tiny valley of sorts - that becomes a seasonal swamp over summer. Seems like a good bet to me and I think anyone with a pair of rods would head straight to that spot because the topography says it's likely, not the rods. Of course, it's always possible that despite these factors, there is in fact not sufficient artesian water to bother sinking a bore. I'll never know because just like extensive field tests, it's way too expensive. I have a reliable source of water anyway. [/QUOTE]
