In the Mississippian era (358-323 mya) also known as the Early Carboniferous period, the area was part of a shallow sea where coral formed a coral reef that became carbonate rock (limestone) underlying the area. Cannindah Reef was the largest-known reef from this period.{{Cite news |last=Whiteside |first=Grace |date=2023-12-26 |title=How a long-buried, 300-million-year-old coral oasis could hold secrets to fighting climate change |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-27/ancient-coral-reef-could-hold-climate-change-lessons/103059762 |access-date=2024-01-27 |work=ABC News |language=en-AU}}
