Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Provinces are defined in terms of overlapping packages of rocks related by depositional or emplacement process, time and space (for example a sedimentary basin), and overprints resulting from various metamorphic or deformation events. These provinces and the events which formed them are recorded in Geoscience Australia corporate Oracle databases and linked with spatial data at a nominal 1:1 millon scale in a GIS delivered via the WWW.
