Eden Valley (Environmental Association 3.2.17)

location map showing Eden Valley (Environmental Association 3.2.17)

An undulating upland plain on metasediments with broad interfluves and occasional higher hills. The cover is mainly open parkland over sown pastures, with some pine plantations and vineyards. Sheep, and beef or dairy cattle are grazed on the pastures.

Due to the rolling topography views re commonly foreground panoramic to enclosed, with valleys providing perspective views. However from higher areas, especially towards the margins of the association, background panoramic views reveal the open parkland.
