Abstract:
The Murray Basin is a shallow Tertiary depression extending over large parts of inland New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. The outline of the basin approximates that of the present Quaternary drainage catchment of the middle and lower Murray-Darling river system. The presence of numerous smaller pre-Tertiary basins and troughs underlying the Murray Basin has been inferred through geophysical surveys and confirmed by exploration drilling.
