Depositional low lying (occasionally inter-tidal) coarse sediments, occasionally with some fine sediments, located at estuaries and behind dune formations. The soils are generally poorly developed on unconsolidated sediments, with occasional deeper organic A horizons. The coastal vegetation ranges from saline tolerant herbs to shrubs and small trees such as Bloodwood and Swamp Paperbark depending on topographic position. The main occurrences of these units are at the estuaries of the major rivers. Geology: Qra; Quaternary alluvium/swamp deposits, unconsolidated. Rainfall: 700-1000 mm per annum. Slope: Range 0-10%, generally 0-3%. Dominant landform element: Flat. Minor landform element: Slope concave/convex, streamlet. |
