The Garie Formation is a narrow band of sedimentary rocks occurring in the Sydney Basin in eastern Australia. This stratum is up to 8 metres thick, situated below the sandstones of the Newport Formation. Formed in the mid-Triassic, it is part of the Narrabeen Group of sedimentary rocks. Garie formation consists of layers of clay pellet sandstone, dark lithic particles, spotted volcanic deposits and chocolate coloured claystone bands.{{cite web|title=Garie Formation|url=http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/pls/www/geodx.strat_units.sch_full?wher=stratno=7014|work=Geo Science Australia|publisher=Australian Government|access-date=May 17, 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://blogs.uoregon.edu/gregr/files/2013/07/narrabeen_group_part2-1jbsbu1.pdf|author= Gregory Retallack|title= Triassic Paleosols in the Upper Narrabeen Group of New South Wales.
