Limited soil erosion hazard. Prone to rill and gully erosion along tracks and fence lines and on sloping lands.

Variable soil erosion hazard. Prone to rill and gully erosion, highly erodible along tracks, fence lines and drainage lines.

Limited soil erosion hazard. Prone to rill and gully erosion along tracks and fence lines and on sloping lands.

Generally limited soil erosion hazard. However, past land uses, including mining and grazing, have had a widespread legacy effect in terms of sheet, rill and gully erosion.

Variable soil erosion hazard. Highly erodible where sub-soil is exposed, particularly along fence lines, tracks and drainage lines and on sloping lands. Prone to gully erosion adjacent to major watercourses.

Variable soil erosion hazard. Highly erodible where sub-soil is exposed, particularly along fence lines, tracks and on sloping lands and drainage lines.

Limited soil erosion hazard. Prone to rill and gully erosion along tracks and fence lines and on sloping lands.

Limited soil erosion hazard. Prone to sheet, rill and gully erosion along tracks and fence lines and on sloping lands.

Variable soil erosion hazard. Highly erodible dispersible soils wheresub-soil is exposed, particularly along fence lines, tracks and on sloping lands and drainage lines.
