Australia lay beneath an ice cap at the start of the Permian and Victoria was swathed in a slow-moving ice-sheet. As the ice retreated, forests developed with Glossopteris (seed ferns), tree-ferns, club-mosses and horsetails.
Jul 31, 2008 · As the Late Palaeozoic continental ice sheet covering most of Victoria retreated in the late Sakmarian, the inland sea along its northern margin expanded southwards into central Victoria to...

Deposits of glacial and fluvioglacial origin are scattered around the state, with outcrops around Coleraine in the west and Bacchus Marsh and Derrinal in central Victoria. Permian sedimentary rocks also occur in several graben structures under the Murray Basin in northern Victoria (Netherby and Wentworth troughs in the northwest, Numurka Trough ...
The focus of most Victorian Permian studies has been the continental glacial sediments, but the volumetrically minor glaciomarine strata in central Victoria are worthy of attention, because...
As the Late Palaeozoic continental ice sheet covering most of Victoria retreated in the late Sakmarian, the inland sea along its northern margin expanded southwards into central Victoria to deposit a well-exposed sequence of glaciomarine strata (the upper part of the Bacchus Marsh Formation) at Bald Hill near Bacchus Marsh.
