The southern region encompasses south-eastern Australia, which includes: Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia. The south has a diverse suite of soils. It’s generally low fertility with many subsoil constraints, such as salinity, sodicity and toxic levels of some elements. Although, there are also some areas with very productive soils.
