The major features of the geology and geomorphology of the semi-arid, tropical Torrens Creek area of North Queensland are described. The evolution of the landscape through the late Cainozoic is discussed with reference to three phases of landscape instability and erosion, each separated by phases of stability during which weathering and soil formation proceeded. These erosional periods were probably initiated by episodic uplift of the Great Divide region. Tentative correlations with landscape events in the nearby Nulla Basalt Province suggest that soil profile development probably occurred during late Pliocene (2.3-2.0 m.y. ago), mid-Pleistocene (1.3-1.1 m.y. ago), and in Quaternary (less than 0.1 m.y. ago) times. |
