Image Caption: Southwestern Australia from Perth south to Cape Naturaliste. The Darling Mountain range (elevations to 2,000 ft) constitutes the main topographic prominence. The Darling range is bounded on the west by the north-trending Darling fault, the scarp of which is from 300 to 700 ft. high. On the upthrown east side of the fault, ancient (>2.5 billion years old) crystalline rocks have been brought to the surface. Similar rocks east of the range host significant gold deposits. The fault separates areas of different substrate, rainfall, vegetation and, thus, different land use. It appears on space photographs as the sharp break between lighter colored grasslands of the plains and the darker forested uplands.
