Oaklands Basin

The Oaklands Basin is a Permo-Triassic sedimentary basin located near the major towns of Albury and Griffith in the Riverina district of southern New South Wales. It covers an area of about 3,800 km2 and has a postulated maximum depth of 1,700 m to 2,000 m. The basin extends north-northwest over approximately 120 km and is approximately 50 km wide. It lies beneath the eastern portion of the Cenozoic Murray Basin.

The structural framework of the basin is poorly understood and little is known about pre-Late Permian stratigraphy, unit distribution or facies development.
