The present-day topographic Bass Basin, Bass Strait, Southeastern Australia, lies in cold-temperate latitudes, occupies an area of 66,000km and has a maximum water-depth of 83m near its geographic centre. It is ca. 12km wide and 480kmin length along a north-west to southeast trending axis. It is bounded by the southern Victorian coast, the northern Tasmanian coast and three basement sills, to the east (-S5m),southwest (-5S5m) and northwest (-467m).The present-day topographic Bass Basin, Bass Strait, Southeastern Australia, lies in cold-temperate latitudes, occupies an area of 66,000km and has a maximum water-depth of 83m near its geographic centre.
