Figure 1. Topographic map of the Mt Lyford Village area and Cross Section (A-B) showing relief,
slope angles, and local stream incision. The main trace of the Hope Fault and prominent nearby
landslides are also shown.

Figure 2. Annotated aerial photo (Run 5007, photo 4, taken 1966) of the Mt Lyford Village area
showing significant geological and geomorphic features in the area, including the main trace of the
Hope Fault, (dashed red line), so-called ‘slope rents’ (dashed yellow lines). Features identified in this
report as incipient slumping (sl) on the edge of gullies, and drainage channels (dc) on the broadcrested interfluves between deeply incised streams are also indicated. A large old landslide is present
southeast of the village, and some (but not all) active creeping landslides are evident to the southwest
(other landslides in the area are shown on Figure 4). The subdivision and access roads shown here
were not present in 1966 when this photo was taken.
