| 词条 | South coast of Western Australia |
| 释义 |
The south coast of Western Australia comprises the Western Australian coastline from Cape Leeuwin to Eucla. This is a distance of approximately {{convert|1600|km|sigfig=1}}, fronting the Great Australian Bight and the Southern Ocean. ComponentsThe region is usually broken up into smaller regions, oriented to the Great Southern regional centre of Albany, Western Australia and, further east, Esperance.[1] Rainbow CoastThe Rainbow Coast is a tourist region name for the coast as well. It is called the Rainbow Coast because of the fast-moving weather fronts that buffet the coast from the south. This, combined with the sun being close to the northern horizon in winter, creates regular displays of rainbows in the south.[2] The main towns of the Rainbow Coast are Albany, Denmark and Walpole.[3] The coast has dozens of National Parks and Nature Reserves including:
Considerable numbers of government reports and environmental studies with "South Coast" in the titles are focused specifically on the coastline adjacent to the Great Southern region.[4] Eucla CoastThe south east coast of Western Australia is designated as the "Eucla Coast" in Bureau of Meteorology forecasts.[5] The coastline was travelled and written up by Daisy Bates before the first world war.[6] See also
