Permian Victoria lay at a high latitude in the Permian, and adjacent parts of Gondwana were covered by continental ice sheets during this period. 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.
Throughout the Permian (299 – 251 Ma) Victoria was covered by a giant glacier which moved slowly North bringing rocks from Antarctica, with relatively few rocks from this time preserved at Bacchus Marsh and Werribee Gorge and, Lake Eppalock in Victoria.
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...

Oct 23, 2020 · Permissions. Abstract. The remote lower reaches of the Rennick Glacier in the far north of Victoria Land hold some of the least-explored outcrop areas of the Transantarctic basin system. Following recent international field-work efforts in the Helliwell Hills, we here provide a comprehensive emendation to the regional stratigraphy.
