Thadoona Land District is a land district (cadastral division) of Western Australia and a subdivision of the North-West Land Division located in the Mid West region of the state.

The lands administrative divisions of Western Australia refer to subdivisions of the state of Western Australia for cadastral purposes, most of which have been in place since the 19th century. The state is divided up for this purpose into five land divisions, which in turn are subdivided into land districts, which correspond to counties in other Australian states. These districts are then subdivided further into numbered locations, as well as gazetted townsites. Together, they form part of the lands administrative divisions of Australia.

Western Australia State in Australia

Western Australia is a state occupying the entire western third of Australia. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the north and west, and the Southern Ocean to the south, the Northern Territory to the north-east, and South Australia to the south-east. Western Australia is Australia's largest state, with a total land area of 2,529,875 square kilometres, and the second-largest country subdivision in the world, surpassed only by Russia's Sakha Republic. The state has about 2.6 million inhabitants – around 11 percent of the national total – of whom the vast majority live in the south-west corner, 79 per cent of the population living in the Perth area, leaving the remainder of the state sparsely populated.

North-West Land Division

The North-West Land Division is one of five Land Divisions of Western Australia, part of the Cadastral divisions of Western Australia. It includes Carnarvon, Exmouth and Port Hedland. It is located in the Gascoyne region, the western Pilbara region, and part of the Mid West

Location and features

The district falls roughly east of the Great Northern Highway, extending to the rabbit-proof fence, about halfway between the towns of Newman and Meekatharra.

Great Northern Highway highway in Western Australia

Great Northern Highway links Western Australia's capital city Perth with its northernmost port, Wyndham. With a length of almost 3,200 kilometres (2,000 mi), it is the longest highway in Australia, with the majority included as part of the Perth Darwin National Highway. The highway is constructed as a sealed, predominantly two-lane single carriageway, but with some single-lane bridges in the Kimberley. Great Northern Highway travels through remote areas of the state, and is the only sealed road link between the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. Economically, it provides vital access through the Wheatbelt and Mid West to the resource-rich regions of the Pilbara and Kimberley. In these areas, the key industries of mining, agriculture and pastoral stations, and tourism are all dependent on the highway.

History

The name and boundaries of the district were first proposed on 24 July 1902 by the chief draftsman, with the spelling "Thadoona". [1] It was later altered to Thaduna, and gazetted accordingly on 4 March 1903. [2] It was later adjusted to make the rabbit-proof fence the eastern boundary of the district. [3] On 17 June 1960, its spelling was changed to "Thadoona" to better conform with the correct Aboriginal pronunciation of the name. [4]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
