An area of some 360,000 square kilometres of the south west of Western Australia is one of the world’s 36 recognised ‘biodiversity hotspots.’ The far south west corner of this region, centred on the town of Margaret River, is distinctive. It consists primarily of a piece of India left behind when that continent separated from Gondwana to push up the Himalayas, adjacent to this is a deep trough containing excellent aquifers, and there are numerous limestone caves close to its coastline.
This book describes the global and regional events that have fashioned this small area of the continent and that have given rise to it having such a wonderfully diverse ecosystem.
