Found in the Sydney Basin and Lachlan Orogen, this stratum is up to 1200 metres thick, consisting of dozens of different sub types.

This formation includes coal seams, tuffaceous claystone, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate.

Medium to coarse-grained sandstone is present, often noticed by bathers at the Bogey Hole.
