Location: | Mount Worth - 030597. Five kilometres east of Poowong East. | Valley profiles and terracettes, Mountain View. |
Access: | Mountain View Road. | |
Ownership: | Private land. | |
Geology/Geomorphology: | The valley slope of a tributary of the Lang Lang River display several changes in profile form. The upper slope is long and slightly convex and abruptly gives way to a steeper segment that fall to the valley floor. The floor is alluviated but the channel is incised into the alluvium and in places exposes the Mesozoic bedrock. The assemblage of slope forms is common in the higher areas of the South Gippsland Highlands, the valleys being symmetrical in profile and not displaying the influence of rock structure. | |
Significance: | Regional. The valley profile may be used as a basis to determine the denudational chronology of the South Gippsland Highlands. | |
Management: | Class 2. Extensive building works on the slopes or reservoir construction in the valley should not be permitted as this would obscure the significant features of the site. |
