Land resource information has been derived from aerial photograph interpretation and field data describinglandform, soil and vegetation. Mapping has been collected according to the national standards and preparedat a scale of 1 : 25 000. Enlarging this map beyond this scale will not provide further detail. A site inspection

should always accompany mapping for specific areas.
