Today's Pedestrian height I had failed to reach 300 feet. Its geology is basically granitic, altered in some parts to detritus residual material, in other parts to sand and, silt, clay. It is chiefly covered with open forest. But only the main ridge or parts of subsidiary ridges there- are also considerable arbores of scrubbing or rain forest. The presence of the rain forest is controlled by a combination of humidity and soil conditions. 1000m in forest & highest rainfall are found at around the sawmill pocket, 2 mi NW of Lockerbree. Steam and sandstone regions areas, with the exception of the latter to the far north-east.
