Vegetation Survey of Western Australia

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.
