Described by: John Bessell-Browne Date: 02/10/1992

Observation type: auger boring Category: full description
Lab Analyses: Limited chemical or physical analyses.

Location: MGA94 Zone: 50  335770 mE  6634758 mN Map sheet:  Hill River 100K
Location notes: 
Site notes: Site is located 100m below a sandstone outcrop. 10cm to gravel. Wet at the bottom of the hole, too hard to dig probably into rock. Gravels much smaller and rounded.
Disturbance: Complete clearing; past cultivation.

Landform
Landform pattern: low hills	Slope:  10 %
Relief/modal slope: undulating low hills
Landform element: hillslope
Morphological type: upper slope
Pattern Relief:  low hills
