The purpose of this section is show the maximum inundation map for each
slide scenario for region A, B and C. The Bulli slide is considered to
have occurred with the Shovel and Yacaaba considered as potential slides.
The modelling effectively describes the output as a function of slide
volume with Bulli the largest. The outputs should thus be interpretted
as potential outputs with the Bulli volume occurring in region A as the 
only to have occurred. This event may be used in paleo-tsunami 
investigations due to occur in early 2007. The remaining events may
then be used to described the potential tsunami inundation for slides 
of varied volume.

Figures \ref{fig:bulliA}, \ref{fig:bulliB} and \ref{fig:bulliC}
describe the inundation extent to regions A, B and C respectively
for the Bulli volume. Similarly, Figures \ref{fig:shovelA}, \ref{fig:shovelB}
and \ref{fig:shovelC} describe the inundation extent for the Shovel
volume with Figures \ref{fig:yacaabaA}, \ref{fig:yacaabaB} and 
\ref{fig:yacaabaC} describing the inundation extent for the Yacaaba volume.
It is immediately apparent that there is little difference in the
inundation extents between the Bulli and Shovel slide volumes.  The reason
for this may possibly be explained in Figure \ref{fig:depthvsamp}. Here, the 
characteristic three dimensional 
amplitude is determined as a function of depth for each
slide volume (see Appendix \ref{sec:smfmodel}. 
The location of each specific slide is marked on its
corresponding volume. 
As Figure \ref{fig:depthvsamp} shows, even though the Bulli and Shovel
slides are considered to occur in different depths of water, the
resultant amplitude are approximately equal.
