The Poodyea Formation, comprising boulder conglomerate, cross-stratified sandy conglomerate and pebbly sandstone, crops out as narrow linear and sinuous belts of small outliers within and to the south of the Toko Range, in the Georgina Basin, western Queensland and Northern Territory. The outliers are confined to present-day narrow valleys in the Carlo Sandstone, corresponding closely to either the Toko Syncline axis or cross-cutting structures, and form low linear ridges over plains of Mithaka Formation. The Poodyea Formation is considered to be of probable Tertiary age, and represents a river-channel deposit derived from reworking of parts of the Mesozoic, Palaeozoic, and Proterozoic sequences. In the past, outcrops of the formation have been included in Palaeozoic units. The formation is discussed and defined.
