| Survey Type: | Vegetation and Fauna |
| Study Area Description: | Area is plateau with an average altitude of 350m above sea level, dissected by steeply descending creeks with an average rainfall of 850mm per annum. The area is largely used for grazing and extensive areas of native vegetation have been cleared leaving a few areas of varying size.
