Western Australia has more national parks than any other state and most are easily accessible and have good camping facilities. They represent an extraordinary diversity of flora, fauna, climate and landforms and in some of them, such as the Stirling Range, the Pinnacles and Karijini, the geological features are the main attraction.
The parks include some of the oldest to some of the youngest rocks to be found on this very old continent, from those that have been greatly altered by the collision of continents to those that have remained undisturbed for billions of years.
In all parks the geology has controlled landforms and has had a major influence over the flora. An understanding of this geology will lead to a greater appreciation of just how special these places are.
Now, with the ample assistance of photographs, satellite images and diagrams The Geology of Western Australia's National Parks describes this geology in easy-to-understand language.
The book also explains the geological evolution of our state and demonstrates how geological events have and continue to have a profound effect on almost everything in nature such as why humans walk on two legs; why Australia has so many wildflowers; why the sky is blue, and more.
The Geology of Western Australia's National Parks - the perfect glove-box companion during your next trip to a Western Australian national park.

Gloss Laminate
Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Matte Laminate
Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Canvas
Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
