Southwest corner of Western Australia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Southwest corner of Western Australia
The south-west corner drainage region of Western Australia is one of only two temperate and relatively fertile parts of mainland Australia. It covers about 140,000 square kilometres, or a little less than 2% of the continent. For comparison, this is about the same size as North Carolina or a little larger than England. The landscape is generally flat and sandy but there are several major features, in particular the Stirling Range near Albany, which reach 1096 metres at their highest point, and the Darling Scarp. The climate is temperate Mediterranean. Summers are warm to hot and dry, winters are cool and wet. Mountains near the coast concentrate rainfall in that area, with parts of the extreme south-western corner receiving as much as 1,400 mm per year (about 56 inches). Away from the coast, however, precipitation drops rapidly, with inland areas averaging about 250 mm per year (10 inches). ==See also - drainage divisions== Western Australian drainage divisions include:- * Indian Ocean drainage division: see Pilbara region of Western Australia * Timor Sea drainage division: see Top End and Kimberley region of Western Australia Other Australian drainage divisions include:- * Gulf of Carpentaria * Australian north-east coast drainage division * Australian south-east coast drainage division * Murray-Darling Basin * South Australian gulf drainage division * Lake Eyre Basin * Western Plateau
