Talk:Coastal regions of Western Australia

Regions
A long and somewhat drawn out discussion at the WA noticeboard ended up in silence.

Here is a possible remedy:

Ian Eliot (a significant UWA coastal geographer in the 1980's + ) had stated the case for 8 regions:


 * 1. Kimberley (WA border to Broome) - that seems to be a constant as an agreed category
 * 2. Broome to Port Hedland
 * 3. Port Hedland to Onslow
 * 4. Onslow to Kalbarri
 * 5. Kalbarri to Cape Naturaliste
 * 6. Cape Naturalise to Cape Leeuwin
 * 7. Cape Leeuwin to Israelite Bay
 * 8. Israelite Bay to South Australian border (Eucla Coast)

in his 1980/1983 pamphlet with Peter Woods 'The Western Australian Coast' (DEC Bulletin no 49)

then the WAPC have in :-

with considerable material from Ian Eliot

items 2.5 - 2.9


 * 1.Kimberley (same as above)
 * 2.Broome to Cape Keraudren (east of the De Grey river mouth and end of 80 mile beach)
 * 3.Cape Keraudren to Onslow
 * 4.Onslow to Gnaraloo (south of coral bay, adjacent to northern end of lake mcleod)
 * 5.Gnaraloo to Shark Bay
 * 6.Shark Bay to Dongara
 * 7.Dongara to Guilderton
 * 8.Guilderton to Cape Naturaliste
 * 9.Cape Naturalise to Cape Leeuwin
 * 10.Cape Leeuwin to Albany
 * 11.Albany to Point Malcolm
 * 12.Point Malcolm to eucla

and these 12 are what the WAPC guides its major processes

seeing the conversation died at the noticebaord, I dont expect a rush of comments here, but this is much closer to a grouping of regions that have a connecgtion with underlying geology and coastal processes that are real, and have no attachment to artificial or arbitrary governmental boundaries. I recommend the possible solution to this dormant discussion in the 1980/82 scheme of woods/eliot. It actually relates to the geography. satusuro 14:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
