Australia's largest onshore oil field is located at similarly named Jackson Oil Fields; however, it is located in a different area of the state approximately 160 kilometres (99 mi) west of Thargomindah (http://mulgatraining.com.au/bullooshire/travel/Jackson.htm).[2] The field was discovered in 1981 and contains 350 million barrels of oil, of which just under one third is recoverable.[2]



History


Jackson Post Office opened by July 1908 (a receiving office had been open from 1887) and closed in 1988.[3]
