On Line Resources (Internet)
The internet is somewhat transient. Websites come and go, pages get deleted, moved, renamed and as a result some
amazing information is lost forever or becomes temporarily inaccessible. We don't have the time or resources
to keep checking every site we link to so some links below may be out of date. They were all correct as of October 3rd 2021.
This website too will one day be lost unless some way can be found to keep it going when I am no longer here.

A LIST OF BOOKS USED AS REFERENCE MATERIAL AND BACKGROUND READING FOR THIS GUIDE
This is not a traditional bibliography as not all the books listed here were used as reference for this guide. This is simply a list of some of the books that I
have read in order to put the information in this guide into a (hopefully) coherent order. All books are available at various
public libraries through out Western Australia. Not all are available for loan as some are reference books only.
Books marked with * have been particularly interesting. There is also a helpful list of online resources for those with access to the
internet.
Many of the books listed below were published in Western Australia by Hesperian Press. Please visit their
website for current publications.
Our special thanks to the Library and Information Service of Western Australia (LISWA)
