Group of Springs
KΓΆppen climate type:
Pegmatite field. Source is vague on location details, originally taken from E.S. Simpson from an early Twentieth Century visit. One location confirmed was Cunmagnunna Hill, which is some 10 kilometres east of the Great Northern Highway, and 50 kilometres south of the Abydos station homestead. It states a tauteuxenite (Y) bearing pegmatite is 6.44 kilometres south-east of the hill. The source also states a quartz-microcline pegmatite was located one kilometre east of the old 123 mile peg on the Port Hedland to Wittenoom Road. It is doubtful anyone has located it since, but the challenge goes out there. The Mindat co-ordinates mark Cunmagnunna Hill.
