Description :
The regional topography of much of the New South Wales Southern Highlands was long attributed to Quaternary erosion, but it has been recently demonstrated that the region was, in fact, well developed by the Eocene. Stratigraphic techniques, U/Th, TL and 14C dating aid reconstruction of much of Inverary Park. Major changes in sediment type and source have long been common, but late Quaternary changes do not correlate well with similar observations elsewhere, suggesting that changes in hydrologic regime, notably climate change, are not necessarily responsible for changes in the stratigraphic record.
