This article is about the geological basin. For the Murray Darling River catchment area, see Murray-Darling basin.
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]
