What animals live in Australia's Western Plateau?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i know that the Bush turkey lives there. I know it's really hard to find information on the Western Plateau! So if you want to find some more animals, just search up Uluru on wikipedia, and use those animals, because Uluru is in the Western Plateau so obviously any animal in Uluru will live in the Western Plateau.

Are you doing this for a school assignment? Because so am I, for geography!

Good luck if you are :)

Why did Australia go to the western front?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Are you referring to the west of the country or the Western Front as in the First World War? If you are referring to the Western Front, then it is because so many young Australian soldiers lost their lives in battles there. Battles such as Fromelles, Pozieres, Bullecourt, Messines, Ypres and so on resulted in the deaths of many, which when you consider Australia had a relatively small population had a profound impact on the national mindset.

Who founded Western Australia and when?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Edmund Lockyer was the one who led an expedition to formally claim Western Australia for Britain in 1826 (it had been claimed as British possession in 1791, by George Vancouver). He established a military base at King Georges Sound which originally bore the name of Frederick's Town: it was later renamed Albany. Thus, Albany was the site of the first European settlement in Western Australia.

In 1829, Captain Charles Fremantle was sent to take formal possession of the remainder of New Holland which had not already been claimed for Britain under the territory of New South Wales. This was so that the French could not make a claim on the land.

On 2 May 1829, Captain Fremantle raised the Union Jack on the south head of the Swan River, thus claiming the territory for Britain. The colony of Western Australia was proclaimed on 8 June 1829, and two months later, Perth was also founded.
