Landform and vegetation change in the Greaves Creek Basin : an asymmetric hanging valley in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales
Greaves Creek has cut a hanging valley through the entire Triassic sandstone sequence near Blackheath in the western Blue Mountains. The course of the creek is related to joint directions. Topographic asymmetry expressed as unequal slopes
of the valley sides is related to differential insolation, erosion, vegetation cover, bioturbation and fire intensity. Vegetation structure and floristics within Greaves Creek valley are related to physiography of the valley and to aspect through their effects
