Cities and towns including Perth, Busselton, Bunbury, Mandurah and Geraldton are built over the Perth ...

They are deposited unconformably over the Western Zone, overlapping with the deposition of the Kimberley Group. The depositional periods of the sediments, determined from rocks near the bottom of the basin, indicate that the Speewah Basin formed around 1835 Ma, at the same time as the granitic and gabbroic intrusions.
