Western Australia
A third of the continent under one government, most of it desert, with Perth alone on the far coast and closer to Jakarta than to Sydney. The Pilbara ships iron ore by the trainload, the Kimberley in the north is gorges and boab trees, and the spring wildflowers draw people from around the world.

The local government areas on this map
The pieces are council areas, and there are more of them here than in any other state, because the wheatbelt was settled as hundreds of small farming shires and most of them survived. The 140 areas on this print run from tiny Perth suburbs to shires in the desert larger than whole nations.
