Abstract
Summary: Wind action has modified relics of river systems which drained the southern and central parts of Western Australia. Dunes of both coarse crystalline and fine floury gypsum and lunettes of sand, silt, or clay size material are common near to the leeward margin of salt lakes. Further removed, materials, blown out from the lake areas as aggregates of clay, silt, and sand, are deposited as sheets which are medium‐textured and have a high lime content. The latter deposits have been termed lake parnas.Keywords
