The Murray Darling Basin is part of this natural geographic of the land, where an ancient inland ocean once flourished. Ocean sediments, the weathering of rocks and rainfall over millions of years formed the Murray/Darling Basin’s landscapes and rivers.

Still originally sea salt, just like all the other mined salts.

Didn’t realise the ocean ever came up that far - it’s very inland. I stand corrected…The more you know!
