There are variable quantities of small ironstone concretions, characteristically 2 to 5 mm in diameter. With depth, generally from about 70 cm, the soils become mottled yellowish brown, brownish yellow and brownish red light to medium clays. Minor areas of the Warragul mapping unit may also occur with this unit.
