A reconnaissance survey has been made of about 400 sq miles of the mainland section of the area covered by the Beenleigh and Brisbane 1-mile military maps. The soils of the district, which are derived from sedimentary and metamorphic sedimentary rocks, basalt, and alluvium, are described and their behaviour under land use is discussed. Twenty-six associations of the great soil groups present have been mapped and described. Chemical data of significance to agriculture are presented for the major soils.Strategic Cropping Land zone: Coastal, Local Government Area: Brisbane City.Strategic Cropping Land zone: Coastal, Local Government Area: Logan City.
