History of the Mud Springs: This is a rare geological land formation of which there are only possibly two in Australian.  Although the formation always existed, in 1946 they started to grow rapidly larger, until there were five mounds 3 metres high.  In 1970 a bore was sunk to 460 metres to look for natural gas.  Further tests showed there was a substantial amount of methane gas at 1300metres.  The mud goes down 30 metres.  A stream of water runs from a sub artesian basin behind Bald Hills.  The water hits clay capping which is over a dome of gas.  In 1970 the Brisbane City Council removed the mounds when it excavated to lay a large water main across Graham Road.  As a consequence of excavation a huge amount of mud started to surge up from the hole accompanied by a dreadful smell of hydrogen sulphide gas. Hawbridge Street was isolated for eight weeks while the Council carted away truckloads of mud.  The land area around it then sank.  Sheet pilings were dumped on the mud to form a caisson, the pipes dragged through and 12 truckloads of concrete were placed over the pipes to hold them down.  The crust is only 15cm thick.  It is advisable not to enter the fenced off area
