The Great Artesian Basin Party of the Bureau of Mineral Resources mapped the Julia Creek Sheet in 1961 as part of a programme of regional mapping covering the margins of the Eromanga Sub-Basin in Western Queensland. The Julia Creek area forms the western and northern margins of the Eromanga Sub-Basin, where it is mainly composed of Cretaceous rocks overlying a shallow, crystalline basement. Small outcrops of Precambrian granite and metamorphics occur in the south-west. Thin veneers of Cainozoic sand and gravel, and recent alluvium mask large areas of the Cretaceous rocks.
