The areas south between Port Augusta and the Murray River at the South Australian Victorian border (including Kangaroo Island), with an eastern extension to the north of Melbourne, Victoria, including the areas between Mount Gambier, South Australia and Melbourne.

Gluepot Reserve, South Australia, Australia, 33°45'42.52"S 140° 7'27.51"E.
González-Orozco, Ebach et al. (2014) recovered a large area within the Euronotian, including much
of Adelaide and Eyre Peninsula. The area overlaps considerably with Cracraft’s Adelaide and Eyre Peninsula Subregions,
with the exception of the northern most extremities in the former. The Adelaide sub-region extends much
farther east than Cracraft’s original diagnosis, almost segregating western Victoria (including the Grampians and the
Otways) from the Victoria Sub-region.
