| Tb64 | Rolling to hilly terrain with gentle to moderate slopes: dominant soils are hard, acidic, and yellow (Dy3.41) and red (Dr3.41) mottled soils. Associated are hard alkaline yellow (Dy3.43) and red (Dr3.43) mottled soils; sandy acidic yellow mottled soils (Dy5.41), (Dy5.31), and (Dy5.81) and leached sands (Uc2.2), all containing large amounts of nodular ironstone material, also with mottled clays, at depth below the (Uc2) soils. | Sandy and silty clay |
|
| Mp6 | Low coastal basaltic plateaux and islands of Moreton Bay (about 50 ft above sea level): dominant soils are red friable earths (Gn3. 11) on the gently undulating to flat ridge tops with (Gn3. 14) soils on the beveled slopes of the ridges | Mixed grouping consisting of sand and clay |
|
| NY3 | Coastal plains, lower and middle reaches of river flood-plains, swamps, estuarine areas, and tidal marshes, generally low-lying poorly drained areas subject to flooding: dominant soils seem to be sandy-surfaced soils, friable acidic grey soils (Dg4.11), (Dg4.41), and (Dg4.81); friable acidic yellow mottled soils (Dy5.11); and acidic grey friable earths (Gn3.91).

| Tb65 | Gently rolling areas of the subcoastal lowlands (less than 400 ft above sea level) with a maximum relief of 50 ft between crests and valleys. The soil pattern is complex and controlled by the lithology of the parent rock material. Dominant soils are deep-surfaced loamy duplex (Dy3.41), (Dy3.42), (Dr3.41), and (Dr2.12) on sandstones. | Deep-surfaced loamy duplex |
|
| Mm2 | Undulating landscape with linear gilgais on some slopes: crests and upper ridge slopes of cracking red-brown clays (Ug5.37) or loamy soils with red clay subsoils (Dr2.33), passing down the slope to cracking brown clays (Ug5.32) on gilgai puffs and cracking grey clays (Ug5.23) in gilgai depressions. | Clay and loamy soil |
|
| MM9 | Terraced valley plains: dominant soils are brown and grey cracking clays (Ug5.34), (Ug5.39), and (Ug5.2) which occur on the third terrace with (Gn3.21), (Dy3.41), and (Dy3.13) soils. | Sandstones and shales |
|
| Fu2 | Hilly to steep hilly areas of metasediments and phyllites, traversed by narrow valley plains along the streams: dominant soils are shallow and stony leached loams (Um2.12) and also (Um5.2) loams. | Shallow stony loams |
|
| Cd3 | Steep hilly to mountainous land: dominant soils seem to be leached sands (Uc2.12) and siliceous sands (Uc1.21 and Uc1.22) on sandstones; grey cracking clays (Ug5.23) on shales; and shallow red clays (Uf6.12) on basalt. | Sandy and clay soils |
|
| Sj12 | Lower to middle reaches of stream flood-plains: dominant soils are hard, acidic yellow and yellow mottled soils (Dy2.41) and (Dy3.41) with (Dd1.41) on the flat areas, together with leached sands (Uc2.33 and Uc2.32) on low broad sandy banks. Other soils include (Gn3.01) and (Uf6). | Leached sands |
|
| Mw30 | Gently undulating area of tertiary sediments and igneous rocks: dominant soils are clay loam to light clay texture. | Clay loam to light clay texture |
|
| Kb28 | Low hilly terrain on basalts and sedimentary rocks: dominant soils are moderate and shallow forms of dark cracking clays (Ug5.14, Ug5.12, and Ug5.13) on the slopes. | Dark cracking clays |
|
| Pl1 | Hilly country of sandstones and intruded intermediate and basic rocks, rising to 800 ft above sea level: dominant soils on the moderate to steep slopes are hard acidic red and yellow soils (Dr3.41), (Dr2.41), and (Dy3.41) with some areas of (Dy3.43) and (Dr3.43) soils. | Light sandy loam |
|
| Tb62 | Undulating to hilly valley slopes flanking creek and river flood-plains: dominant soils on the gentle to moderately steep slopes are hard acidic yellow mottled soils (Dy3.41), (Dy3.21), and (Dy3.61). | Hard-setting loamy soils with mottled yellow clayey subsoils |
|
| Kb12 | Gently rolling areas of the subcoastal lowland (less than 400 ft above sea level) on altered basic rocks; maximum relief is 50 ft between crests and valleys: dominant soils are shallow dark cracking clays (Ug5.12) with hard neutral red and yellow soils (Dr2.12) and (Dy2.12). | Shallow dark cracking clays |
