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. There were some offshoot publications apart from the maps and notes. The main author and worker of the project was John Stanley Beard, who was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for the work in 2003.

The maps correlated broadly to the main regional names:

  1. Kimberley
  2. Great Sandy Desert
  3. Great Victoria Desert
  4. Nullarbor
  5. Pilbara
  6. Murchison
  7. Swan
