Michelago and at least as far south as
Bredbo.
To the west of Williamsdale is an outcrop of Upper Silurian Laidlaw Volcanics dark grey rhyodacitic and dacitic crystal tuff. This extends to the west as far as Angle Crossing. This band extends to the north north west as far as
Mount Stromlo. The outcrop finishes a couple of kilometres south, but it's also found to the east, with outcrop from
Fernleigh in the north, via
Burra, and south to Michelago.
On the west side of the
Murrumbidgee River around Angle Crossing can be found the Bransby Beds or Goosoon Beds. These beds contain tuff and dacite with some sediments. They form a narrow band extending to the south as far as
Cooma following on the east side of the Murrumbidgee River.
