Land Use

Generally grazing of beef or dairy cattle. External drainage is generally poor on these soils and in many situations surface ponding occurs after rain. These soils are rarely cultivated and are mainly used for grazing cattle.

Soils

Most of the soils are dark brownish grey clay loams. At about 25 cm, this overlies a brownish grey (mottled with rusty brown) clay loams to light clays. This horizon is generally but not always bleached. Mottled grey and yellow-brown medium to heavy clays occur from about 40 cm and extend to at least 1 metre depth. Some of the soils have significant quantities of coarse sand.

Soil Pit Site GP27 is an example of a sandier soil profile within the Narre mapping unit.
