Bolton is a farming district in the extensive Mallee country of north-western Victoria, about 430 km from Melbourne. Quaternary sediments form a thin veneer over the older stratigraphy. The underlying Tertiary marine deposits are now leading to problems with salinity and rising groundwater.
Gypsum specimens come from a small salt lake near Bolton.
