Assessment Of The Suitability For Horticulture Of The Packsaddle Infill Area, Kununurra, N Schoknecht
Assessment Of The Suitability For Horticulture Of The Packsaddle Infill Area, Kununurra, N Schoknecht
Resource management technical reports
A brief assessment of the suitability of 142 ha in the Packsaddle infill area for horticulture was conducted in late August 1993. Of this area 100 ha is Crown Land, and 42 ha was recently sold as freehold. Eleven map units based on soil and landform were identified, and their suitability for horticulture assessed. The map units were based on field observations and extrapolation from existing surveys.
Assessment Of The Suitability For Agriculture Of The North-West Packsaddle Area Kununurra, N Schoknecht
Assessment Of The Suitability For Agriculture Of The North-West Packsaddle Area Kununurra, N Schoknecht
Resource management technical reports
A brief assessment of the suitablility for agriculture of about 260 ha in the North-west Packsaddle area was conducted in early September 1993. Nine map units based on soil and landform were identified, and their suitability for broadscale flood irrigated agriculture and spray or trickle irrigated horticulture assessed. The map units are based on field observations and extrapolation from existing surveys. The map was prepared at a scale of 1:20,000 and is only accurate at that scale.

Land Capability Assessment For The Wellington-Blackwood Survey, Peter J. Tille
Resource management technical reports
This report has been produced to provide more detail on the land capability assessments presented in the Wellington-Blackwood Land Resources Survey (Tille 1996). In that report, the land capability of each of the soil-landscape subsystems has been summarised with a brief description. Capability ratings are provided here for each of the map units (including subsystem phases) which appear on the two map sheets (Tille et al. 1996) accompanying the Wellington-Blackwood Land Resources Survey.

Land resources series
This report presents results from soil and landform mapping at a scale of 1:250,000 for approximately 2.1 million hectares of the wheat-sheep belt of Western Australia. The study area corresponds with the Geraldton advisory district for Agriculture Western Australia and is the northern extent of the wheatbelt. The area covers parts of three major geological regions of Western Australia: the Perth Basin, Carnarvon Basin and the Yilgarn Craton. Fifty-one soil-landscape systems have been identified, some of which have been divided into subsystems, and are illustrated on the accompanying maps. The landform, parent material, rainfall, land use, native vegetation and soils …

Land resources series
This report presents descriptions to accompany land resource maps of the Wellington- Blackwood district, east of Bunbury in the south-west of Western Australia. The maps cover an area of about 760,000 hectares and are presented as two map sheets at a scale of 1:100,000. Four different physiographic zones cover the survey area: • The Western Darling Range Zone occupies the major portion of the area and consists of a deeply dissected lateritic plateau overlying crystalline rocks. Three soil-landscape systems containing 24 subsystems have been identified and mapped within this zone. • The Eastern Darling Range Zone is in the south-east …
