To help keen writers, why don't we let each state heading double as a link? (Some of the state pages give quite a few clues about regions within the states.)

For Western Australia, see my compilation here: http://zeal.com/category/preview.jhtml?cid=10148965

It has all of the official RURAL regions (and subcategorises a couple), but nowhere near all the cities in the Perth Metropolitan Area.

I would prefer to use the official regions from http://www.regional.wa.gov.au/pdfs/index.asp Robert McFaul 07:16, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC) I have put the official regions in, sub-regions could become sections on the region pages. Robert McFaul 07:23, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing, Robert. We have the same WA regions! (Though the specific URL you show is a trifle misleading because its main space deals with only seven (of nine) regions for which a Living in the Regions report is readily "clickable". The main report said all nine were being reported on.

It would be interesting to have articles on the four 'other' main points of the compass, which are often used:

  • Southeastern Australia - does it include brisbane? adelaide?
  • Southwestern Australia - how far north and west does it go?
  • Northeastern Australia - how far south along the Qld coast does it go?
  • Northwestern Australia - is this nearer to North West Cape or to the Kimberleys or include both? is Darwin part of it? --Astrokey44 00:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know about the others but southwestern Australia is a coherent region - and a dog's breakfast. We currently have
  1. Southwest, Western Australia (a disambig)
  2. Southwest Australia (a WWF ecoregion, which I will probably move to South West Province and re-characterise in terms of Beard's "natural regions", as this used much more than the WWF's system)
  3. Southwest corner of Western Australia (allegedly a drainage division, but seems to overlap rather strongly with the ecoregion)
  4. South West region of Western Australia (a region under the Regional Development Commissions Act 1993; thanks again for the map by the way ;-) )
