Photographs showing samples of the Tamala Limestone with different sedimentary fabrics. (A) A vuggy sample with burrows and dissolved pathways, expected to be highly permeable. (B) A cemented massive fine-grained limestone sample, expected to have considerably lower permeability. This figure highlights the contrast in geological fabrics that directly impact hydraulic conductivity. Large-scale karsts (i.e. caves and other conduits) exist throughout the coastal margin of Western Australia.
