Grimes and Doutch (1978) have identified five predominantly alluvial stages in the depositional landforms of the Carpentaria Plains. In the light of the factors which they consider to be the most likely controls on the evolution of the plains, they suggest a correlation between these stages, sea-level, climatic changes, and other depositional sequences in Queensland.
