Statewide dataset of soil profiles, comprising (at time of writing) ~73,000 separate observations of soil physical and chemical characteristics, along with (in most cases) information about the landscape in which they occur (including landform, geology, vegetation, hydrology, land use and land degradation). Data is added by both NSW Government agencies and members of the wider NSW community using standardised Soil Data Cards, an internet application called eDIRT and is stored in the NSW Soil and Land Information System (SALIS).

Online Maps: Part of this area is also covered by other soil mapping products, see the soil map index in eSPADE. eSPADE contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.
