The Darling Sedimentary Basin, or simply the Darling Basin is located in western New South Wales, bordered in the north by the line Broken Hill- Wilcannia - Cobar and stretching southward towards the Murray River. [1] [2] It is an old sedimentary basin dated by Late Cambrian/ Silurian to Early Carboniferous. [3] It is an intra-cratonic depositional center, mostly filled with Devonian sedimentary rocks up to 8 km in thickness. It is overlaid by the Eromanga Basin in the north and the Murray Basin in the south. It covers the area on over 100,000 km2. [4] [5]
Darling and Murray basins are separated by the Lachlan Fold Belt. [6]
Major troughs and sub-basins include Cobar Basin, Mt Hope Trough, Rast Trough and Melrose Trough. [7]
The Moomba to Sydney Pipeline crosses the area. [4]
