These units are based on the Snowy River Volcanics geological formation and occur as an outcrop to the north of the Type 1 and Type 2 units. The Type 3 units are centred around the Gelantipy Plateau, from the Snowy River in the west to the Pinnacle in the east. The Deddick Trail passes through this group of units (north/south). The geological formation is dominated by acid volcanics (rhyodacite). These units are at a high elevation and generally in a high rainfall area which has influenced vegetation and soil types. The soil types have predominantly friable, often stony gradational profiles. The native vegetation consists of Montane Forest, Wet Sclerophyll Forest, Dry Sclerophyll Forest and Cool Temperate Rainforest. Geology: Dls; Devonian acid volcanics (Snowy River Volcanics). Rhyodacite, tuff, andesite, minor rhyolite and basalt. Also includes coarse sandstone and conglomerate, minor siltstone. Rainfall: 700- greater than 1200 mm per annum, generally greater than 1000 mm per annum. Slope: Variable; 3-56%, generally 10-32% Dominant landform element: Broad crest, plateau, slope Minor landform element: Drainage depression, open depression |
