Description :
In October 1965 and February 1966, 55 Young-pits were installed in tropical Northern Territory (NT) and temperate New South Wales (NSW). Pits were monitored in 1968, 1971 and 1974; also for the NT only, in 1988. In each region, half of the pits are on weathered granite, and half on sandstone. The aim of this paper is to present and evaluate the results from these long-term experiments within the context of previous field observations of rates of soil creep.
