While weathering and seasonal rains can cause waterholes at to silt up, Paralana Hot Springs continue to flow as a shallow stream. Sourced from within a fault zone, the water is around 60 degrees and emits gases such as radon which is heavier than air and hovers around the creek area on still days. A wonderful array of Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria and algae thrive in the Paralana Hot Springs.
