These soils have developed on Quaternary unconsolidated material, generally of aeolian and lacustrine origin in the North West Dunefields and Plains, to the north of Horsham. They occupy plains and swales, and may occur in association with occasional vertic, sodic texture contrast soils. The Sodosols are associated with gilgai micro relief (Vertosol/Sodosol complex). The soil is alkaline throughout and calcareous. |
