Western Australia: An atlas of human endeavour
Western Australia: An Atlas of Human Endeavour was an atlas published in 1979 as part of the WAY 79 sesquicentennial celebration of the European colonisation of Western Australia. It was published by the Western Australian Department of Education and the Department of Lands and Surveys, and had a foreword by Premier Charles Court, who was personally involved in a number of the projects that were conducted by the organisation.[citation needed]
It was an atlas that included extensive usage of historical geography, and both editions included gazetteers and bibliographies - at some divergence from the Sesquicentenary Celebrations Series editions that lacked indexes and adequate reference materials.
It was originally published for the 1979 celebrations; a second edition that dropped the dates in the title, was published in 1986.[1]
