We just moved into a new house with a combined grey/black water
disposal on a 200 sqm patch, having a clay base, 100mm topsoil and
about 100mm cane mulch. We live about 100 km west of Brisbane.
We would really like some recommendations for suitable trees and
shrubs.

G'day Ulrich
When you say 'Black Water Soak' do you mean the clear water runoff from
the septic tank?
At my last house I used this to advantage after directing the water
through several sand filters and in a zig-zag pattern across the hill.
It then watered a vegie garden that kept a family of four fed, with
heaps left over, so I used to swap the excess with the local greengrocer
for fruit that we didn't grow.
Of course I had the water tested and it was perfectly OK for use on
vegies for human consumption. Hope this helps?
