Landscape (topography & parent material): Flood plain and associated low terraces of predominantly medium and fine textured sediments. Elevation ranges from 150 - 210 m.
Soils:
Dominant: Yellowish-brown gradational soils on alluvium. Brown loams on alluvium. Other: Reddish gradational soils on alluvium. Undifferentiated sands and loams.
Native Vegetation (form & dominant species): Savannah woodland of river red gum.
Land Use: Dairying, beef cattle raising, some fat lamb raising on improved pastures. Some irrigation of pastures and fodder crops. There is scope for further pasture development and intensive row-cropping.
Erosion (present and hazard): Flooding is the major hazard. Some stream-bank erosion occurs.

Landscape (topography & parent material): Low terraces and associated flood plains of predominantly medium-textured sediments. Elevation ranges from 210 - 330 m.
Soils:
Dominant: Reddish duplex soils with acid subsoils. Yellowish duplex soils with acid to neutral subsoils. Other: Reddish gradational soils on alluvium. Undifferentiated sands and loams.
Native Vegetation (form & dominant species): Savannah woodland of river red gum in the north; tall woodland to sclerophyll forest of candlebark gum on well drained sites with swamp gum in the south.
Land Use: Dairying, beef cattle raising, some fast lamb raising on mainly sown pastures. Some irrigated pasture and fodder crops. Tobacco is grown, mainly in the south. There is scope for further pasture development and some intensive row-cropping.
Erosion (present and hazard): Flooding is not such a serious problem. Some stream-bank erosion occurs.
