THE PERMIAN PERIOD
The Permian Period 286-245 Ma . In the earliest part of the Permian the glacial phase continued from the Carboniferous.It is not certain whether the ice sheets were continuous, as they are in Antarctica at the present, or whether there were a number of centres of glaciation, which are thought to have possibly changed over time, with unglaciated land between the centres. CARNARVON GORGE NATIONAL PARK Carnarvon Gorge National Park See Buckland Volcano. About 600 km northwest of Brisbane, Carnarvon Creek cuts Carnarvon Range, a spur of the Great Dividing Range, to form Carnarvon Gorge, the main gorge, is entered from the east.Carnarvon Range is part of a large belt of soft sandstone called the Consuelo Tableland. YILGARN CRATON
Yilgarn Block (Yilgarnia) The Yilgarn Block in Western Australia is one of the most ancient landscapes preserved anywhere on Earth. The Yilgarn Plateau is a craton, one of the original masses of rock that rose out of the sea in the Late Archaean, about 2700 ma to form the original landmass of Australia.At this time the eastern part of Australia had yet to form. UNDARA VOLCANIC NTIONAL PARK Undara Volcanic National Park. This park consists a lava field remaining from a massive volcanic eruption which occurred 190,000 years ago. The area covered by the lava field from the main crater is more than 1000 square kilometres.

THE DEVONIAN PERIOD
The climates of the world were warm to hot, and there were no polar ice caps. Worldwide many evaporites were formed, indicating widespread aridity. The Devonian is the period when colonisation of the land by plants and animals got underway around the margins of the water. PETERMANN MOUNTAINS
