Location of Example: 151°17'24" East, 27°39'27" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • Homesteads are characteristically surrounded by irrigated vegetation/gardens.
  • In Figure 2.1.1.1a the Buildings appear as rectangular elevated features, this is evident by shadow signatures. The Storage Tanks have a more linear narrow appearance but still exhibit the elevated shadow signatures.
  • In many cases the main access road to the Homestead may be lined with vegetation.
Regional Considerations:
