Annotation
A fourteen day pump test in the aeolian coastal dunes near Currie, King Island, has shown that a circular array of eight shallow bores will yield 340 cubic metres per day continuously for long periods. Calculated aquifer transmissivity is about 124 square metres per day and the specific yield about 0.26.
