Report on the land units of the Daly River agricultural area

P. J. Fogarty and C. R. Gibbs
Northern Territory Animal Industry and Agriculture Branch, 1976

The survey was initiated by the Animal Industry and Agriculture Branch following serious soil erosion caused by the devastating 1974 floods. Much of the erosion, it was felt, was the result of incorrect land use practices. This land unit survey delineates and accounts for existing erosion and provides the basic physical information for correct farm planning. It does not include socio- economic information of any kind. Further, it provides information about the potential (or otherwise) of the unused areas of Crown Land, not only for agriculture, but also for recreation and conservation purposes.
