Yes indeed. Some of Australian rocks are among the oldest in the world. Zircons in these may be dated towards 3x10^9 years old.
Rocks in the origin of New Zealands on the other hand are derived from two sources, Australian rocks (probably Queensland), and the other source was a volcanic arc.
What else can I help you with?
Is volcanic rock older than sedimentary rock?
Not necessarily. There are volcanic rocks that date back to the precambrian time, much older than most sedimentary rocks around today. At the same time, as there is still continuous volcanic activity on earth, some volcanic rocks may be only minutes old, making them the youngest rocks on earth.

What are the reative age relationship of faults the rocks they cut?
Faults are always younger than the rocks they cut. They cannot be older that the rocks they are cutting, because the rocks would not be there.
Which is older igneous or sedimentary?
Igneous rocks are typically older than sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten material (magma or lava), which usually happens before the formation of sedimentary rocks through processes like erosion, deposition, and compaction.
How scientist discover that rocks farther away from the mid ocean ridge were older than those near it?
Scientists discovered that rocks farther away from the mid-ocean ridge were older than those near it through radiometric dating of the rocks. By measuring the age of the minerals within the rocks, they found that the farther rocks were older because they had been slowly moving away from the ridge as new crust formed at the ridge and pushed older crust farther out.
What are two radioactive isotopes that are useful for dating rocks that are older that 10 million years?
what are two radio active isotopes that are usful for dating rocks that are older than ten million years
Which is older rocks found on the moon or rocks found on the earth?
Rocks found on the moon are older because of the lack of erosive forces there. Also, the moon would have cooled more quickly from a molten state than the much larger Earth.
Why are the rocks on the moon found to be older than the rocks on the earth?
The moon does not have an active geological process which constantly recycles, and recreates itself. The earth does.
Is volcanic rock older than sedimentary rock?
Not necessarily. There are volcanic rocks that date back to the precambrian time, much older than most sedimentary rocks around today. At the same time, as there is still continuous volcanic activity on earth, some volcanic rocks may be only minutes old, making them the youngest rocks on earth.
What is likely to be true about the age of rocks in deeper and deeper layers?
In general, rocks found in deeper layers are older than rocks found in shallower layers due to the principle of superposition, which states that younger rocks are usually on top of older rocks. This is based on the idea that sedimentary rock layers are deposited in chronological order over time.
