Soils of the Hamilton Pastoral Research Station, Victoria
The Research Station was established in 1959 on former freehold pastoral land purchased by the Crown. It served as a district centre for experimental work of the former Department of Agriculture, in animal husbandry, pasture and soil management, fertility and general agricultural studies.
At the time of the survey in June 1961, the Research Station carried about 1900 sheep including lambs, mainly on subterranean clover - rye grass pasture, and 25 head of beef cattle.
The purpose of the survey was to provide a frame work of reference within which to plan and evaluate the experimental work of the Research Station.
