The geological history of the Sydney Basin.
The Sydney region, extending from Wollongong to Newcastle and Lithgow, is part of a large geological feature called the Sydney Basin. For 80 million years, a huge amount of sediment was deposited in the Sydney Basin, starting 270 million years ago. ... The sediments of the Sydney Basin belong mostly to two geological periods the Permian (300-250 million years ago), and the Triassic (250-205 million years ago. ... The Australian landmass formed part of the Gondwana super continent, dinosaurs were yet to dominate the earth and the area we now know as Sydney was located within a depositional basin known as the Sydney Basin. The geology of the Sydney Basin is mainly the result of sedimentation and phases of the earth’s movements. The Sydney Basin involves a sequence of Permian and Triassic marine and non-marine, cold-climate, sedimentary rocks, together with a series of invasions which were emplaced during several magmatic episodes.
