This is a medium intensity soil survey consisting of ground observations and aerial photograph
interpretation. Its purpose is to provide information for regional planning and catchment management
and to identify agricultural and pasture production areas. For intensive land use at the property scale,
more detailed examinations should be carried out prior to development. Observation density averaged
one observation per 53 ha over the entire study area, ranging from less than one per 100 ha in
rugged terrain to approximately one per 25 ha in intensively used areas.

Depth criteria: based on Isbell, R.F. (1996), The Australian Soil Classification:
Very shallow <0.25 m
Shallow 0.25-<0.5 m
Soil layers:
Shallow to moderately deep soils with dark, strongly structured surface horizons and neutral to alkaline reaction trend
MAP 2
- Gradual or diffuse boundaries are used where a clear boundary could not be determined by
field observations and aerial photograph interpretation
Colour classes based on Isbell, R.F. (1996), The Australian Soil Classification.

Mapping units are named after the dominant soil profile class. The dominant soil profile class occupies
≥ 60% of a mapping unit area. The use of two symbols (e.g. Bp-Wt) indicates a compound mapping unit
where two soil profile classes are co-dominant.
These are minor soil profile classes that do not actually occur as mapping units. They may occur as
components of the miscellaneous soil units on steep hills and mountains. They are listed here so that the
map reference provides a complete list of soil profile classes likely to be encountered.
Principal profile forms are from Northcote, K.H. (1979), A Factual Key for the Recognition of Australian Soils.
Australian Classification from Isbell, R.F. (1996), The Australian Soil Classification.
