Vegetation Survey of Western Australia

The Vegetation Survey of Western Australia commenced as a project of the Department of Geography of the University of Western Australia to provide vegetation maps for the state on the scales of 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000.[1] There were some offshoot publications apart from the maps and notes [2] The main author and worker of the whole project was John Stanley Beard who received an OAM for the work in 2003.

The Maps correlated broadly to the main regional names:

  1. Kimberley [3]
  2. Great Sandy Desert [4]
  3. Great Victoria Desert [5]
  4. Nullarbor [6]
  5. Pilbara [7]
  6. Murchison [8]
  7. Swan [9][10]
