THE BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE EASTERN GOLDFIELDS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Discussion

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Introduction: The Duketon-Sir Samuel Study Area has representatives of all the landform types recorded in the Eastern Goldfields, although not all are extensive in area. Some such as Dunefields occur in small and generally isolated expanses adjacent to Salt Lake Features or on Sandplains, while Granite Exposures are rare. The salt Lake Maitland and Lake Darlot and their associated drainages are central to the Study Area, which traverses the boundary betwee·n the Austin and Helms Botanical Districts of the Eremaean Botanical Province.
