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 :-

Western Australian Planning Commission; Coastwest (Program) (2003), Coastal planning and management manual : a community guide for protecting and conserving the West Australian Coast, Western Australian Planning Commission, ISBN 978-0-7309-9316-2 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)
