The Proterozoic Curnamona Province extends across central eastern South Australia and into western New South Wales. Whilst most of the Province is obscured by younger sedimentary cover, regions of exposure are present in the northwest as the Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers, and in the south as the Willyama Inliers. The Willyama Inliers expose the largest area of basement, consisting of a complex of late Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks (Willyama Supergroup), and local metamorphosed intrusives, together with early Mesoproterozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks and granitic intrusives. The Willyama inliers are further subdivided into the areas in the vicinity of Olary (mainly in South Australia) and Broken Hill (mainly in NSW).

    Notes: These notes are a summary of the geology of the Olary Domain as of September, 2001. Previous overviews are given by Flint and Parker (1993), Laing (1996) and Robertson et al. (1998). Observations incorporated into this summary report have come from detailed mapping by exploration companies (significantly Carpentaria Exploration Company and Esso Australia), Geological Survey - i.e. DM, DME, SADME, MESA and now PIRSA, specific studies by Drs Ashley and Plimer and their co-workers over several years, PhD theses of Cook (1993) and Bierlein (1995), and Honours theses from the universities of Melbourne, New England , Adelaide, Flinders and South Australia. Also included is the field guide to the excursion stops.
