	Morphological Notes
	A11	Too smashed up to give meaningful physical measurements. Some similarities with site 
	195 except lack of crumb structure. A shallow soil on rock. Alluvium or colluvium.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, mixed texture, non-calcareous,  Nandewar Volcanics
	Site Notes
	Surface soil has many small (1-2cm) gravels. Stipa identification uncertain. Proline stopped by heavy stone at 90cm. Higher part
	 of large fan spilling from sandstone and basalt scarp. Meandering streams ingrown ca 2-3m.
