   Depth = mm below ground level.
   P = blows per 100mm penetration with an approved 9kg penetrometer.
   Notation such as (SP) refers to the soil description to Table A1 AS1726 ‘Guide to the description
   identification and classification of soils’.
   Solid lines represent sharp interface between different soil types. Dotted lines represent
   gradation form one soil type to another.
   Abbreviations used
   UTP - unable to penetrate, Bec. – becoming, N.S.L. – Natural Surface Level
   Med. – medium, MW - Moderately weathered
   EW - extremely weathered, Plast. - Plasticity
   No recovery means unable to extract samples from the base of the bore hole because the soil
   will not bind in the auger head.
   The colour of the soil is often abbreviated, for example Gy = grey Or = orange.
