This window opens the bedroom to the early morning sun, as well as surveying the entrance drive in the foreground and commanding a view of the gritstone escarpment.
The horst, a steep-sided escarpment, the crest of which has been transformed through weathering into tall, conical hills and deep depressions, falls sharply to the lagoon's southern border.
This area lies atop an escarpment rising 100 m above the alluvial plain to the east.
A separate series of simulations was carried out (results not shown) where no mortality was imposed in the escarpment.
Ground spraying of the escarpment appears to have played an important part in reducing re-invasion from that quarter.
A constant 8% daily mortality was assumed in the escarpment.
Both fly density and index of clustering decreased towards the north and away from the escarpment towards the east (figs 5a, 5d, 4a and 4b).
A steep escarpment encloses the low-lying basin to the west and south, providing a barrier for movement and vistas in those directions.
