CSIRO Land Research Surveys
Unique and never repeated series of detailed land system surveys across Australia and PNG.
The surveys commenced in 1946 and were conducted by teams of scientists and technicians working together in the field and laboratory. The final report in the series was published in 1977. The CSIRO´s Land Research Series delivered 39 reports. Thirty-six are reports from surveys of the land resources of parts of Australia and Papua New Guinea. The other three are explanatory notes on maps covering the whole area of Papua New Guinea, largely compiled from the survey reports
