This linework delineates the boundaries of soil landscapes for South-East New South Wales, including the Southern CRA Region. The attribute data for each soil landscape unit is described in a draft Microsoft Access database 'Soil Landscape Regolith Stability of South-East New South Wales Access Database, Version 1.0'.

Each soil landscape unit on the coverage has been allocated a regolith stability class (soil erodibility), which is broken up into four classes (1-4). A regolith stability classification consists of a dominant class and up to three sub-dominant classes (if necessary), for example, R1(3,4), where R1 is the dominant regolith stability class and (3,4) are the sub-dominant regolith stability classes. See Murphy, C.L., Fogarty, P.J. and Ryan P.J. 1998, Soil Regolith Stability Classification for State Forests in Eastern New South Wales, Technical Report No. 41, Department of Land and Water Conservation, for further information.
