	Morphological Notes
	A11	Originally bu012. Paler colour at surface suggests recent flood accumulation. Baked clay
	 (colour 2) at 28cm with charcoal suggests burnt root. The soil has well developed low-
	angle fissures but these are not slickensides. Colour 2 at 70-80c

	A12	m is diffuse. This seems to be a slow-draining Queerbri. The soil seems to resemble both
	 rbe and brown clayand in some respects is like ed180.
	Observation Notes
	Parent Rock: alluvial sediment, clay, sand second terraced fan, Namoi
	Site Notes
	Site is slightly higher than 009. Sandy hill at homestead extends gently in this direction. Stopped hole at 233cm because the drill 
	was well into parent sands. This level stands 2-3ft above 009 but is clearly the same material, lacking floo
