These soils have developed on alluvium of Quaternary unconsolidated material in the Northern Riverine Plains, predominantly on the Wimmera River older alluvial plains (with and without prior streams). Some soils may be gradational and brown in places. The soil is slightly acidic at the surface but becomes alkaline just above or in the subsoil.
