- Additional information
- Originality: The first paper of an anticipated series about these fen peatlands, which were first discovered by Lindsay in 1996, having been completely overlooked until then. Rigour: This paper provides some of the first detailed geomorphological and hydrological assessments of these systems while also placing them within a global context, highlighting their globally distinctive character. Significance: This paper, and ongoing research, has led the Fraser Island National Park authorities to begin the process of including the fens within the National Park and World Heritage Site. Lindsay provided much of the text describing the setting, and undertook the global assessment.
