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.[1] There were some offshoot publications apart from the maps and notes.[2] 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.[3]

The maps correlated broadly to the main regional names:

  1. Kimberley[4]
  2. Great Sandy Desert[5]
  3. Great Victoria Desert[6]
  4. Nullarbor[7]
  5. Pilbara[8]
  6. Murchison[9]
  7. Swan[10][11]
