Kimberley Plateau

Japanese: キンバリー台地 - キンバリーだいち(英語表記)Kimberley Plateau
Kimberley Plateau
A general term for mountains and plateaus made of sandstone and basalt in the northern part of Western Australia, Australia. Also called the Kimberley Block. Often used synonymously with the Kimberley region (area: approx. 420,000 km2, population: 15,600, 1976) stretching from Broome to Wyndham. The main industry is beef cattle ranching, and pearl farming and irrigation agriculture can also be seen along the coast. There is a bauxite development plan (Mitchell Plateau). The name comes from the British Secretary of State for the Colonies. [Taniuchi Tatsu]
