Possible that calcrete aquifers in the upper Oakover system (Davis River) contain stygofauna.

Stygofaunal crustacean within calcrete environments, at Millstream, and in the upper Fortescue.

Odonata species at Millstream.

Other calcrete deposits in the eastern pasts of PIL2. Note that survey of troglofaunas in these localities is so far preliminary.

Millstream aquifer. Almost certain to contain an endemic crustacean, and possibly other groups, stygofauna. Preliminary sampling strongly indicates this. There may also be a terrestrial troglofauna in the upper parts of the calcrete.

Fortescue Marsh. An extensive, episodically inundated samphire marsh, approximately 100 km long and 10 km wide. Constricted at the western (downstream) end by the Goodiadarrie Hills

Millstream aquifer. An extensive calcrete aquifer, lying between the Hamersley and Chichester Ranges, and formed through in situ deposition within an ancient diver drainage basin. The present aquifer is approximately 400 square kms in area.

Weeli Wolli spring. Large permanent spring, with associated stygofauna (poorly known).

Millstream wetlands. Extensive permanent spring-fed streams, pools and river flow that extend for up to 40 kilometres or more below the springs. Large areas of wetland community, including large, deep riverine pools, springs, riffle streams, marshes.

Millstream wetlands. Large, permanent wetlands, including deep riverine pools, streams and springs provide season refuge for vertebrate species during dry periods, and climatic refuge for many invertebrates.

Gorges of the Fortescue River, within the Chichester ranges. Deeply incised gorge features provide refuge from fire for plant species ((Terminalia, Erythrina, Ficus).

Stygofaunal crustacean fauna within calcrete environments. So far poorly known, but indications are for a significantly diverse fauna.

Acacia species within the Hamersley Range

Calcrete deposits of PIL3, for troglofauna. Note that survey of troglofaunas in these localities is so far preliminary. Endemic radiations are however almost certain to be located. Include Newman, Hamersley Range, Duck Creek.

Hamersley Station grass (THEMIDA??) plain.

Red Hill Station mulga stands. Very isolated areas of mulga, in the extreme west of the sub-bioregion. No other biological information, as these patches have never been examined before.

Gorges of Hamersley Range, particularly those of Karijini National Park.

Palm Spring, Duck Creek. Large stand of Livistona alfredii palms, growing along Duck Creek in the vicinity of a shallow calcrete aquifer and associated springs. Has a largely undescribed troglofauna associated with the calcrete.

Permanent spring systems, such as Weeli Wolli and Palm Spring (Duck Creek).

Gorges of the Hamersley Ranges. Permanent water and protected from fire. Provide refuge sites for humido-philes and fire intolerant species (eg Calitris, Bothriembyon).

Calcrete deposits of PIL3, for troglofauna. Note that survey of troglofaunas in these localities is so far preliminary. Endemic radiations are however almost certain to be located. Include Newman, Hamersley Range, Duck Creek.

Mountain tops of the Hamersley Range. Provide refuge from fire for a large number of restricted flora species.

Burrup Peninsula. High habitat diversity for plants.

Burrup Peninsula for landsnails; Camaenids.

Burrup Peninsula. Apparently a minor centre of endemism for terrestrial gastropods (family Camaenidae). At least six species, of which two or three are undescribed.

Offshore islands, Dampier Archipelago. Geologically diverse. Maintained fox-free, through baiting. Legendre is the only large limestone island in this part of the Pilbara, and appears to contain a limited karst system.

Bedout Island. High value seabird nesting island;>1000 brown booby pairs nesting,>1000 common noddy,>1000 crested tern, 500-1000 lesser frigatebird, 100-500 masked booby. Several do not nest elsewhere in Pilbara.

Islands between Cape Lambert to Hedland. Many are sandy sometimes on a limestone base, while Depuch is almost entirely basalt. Biological information poor.

Islands off Poissonnier Point. Nesting seabirds include pelican, caspian tern, pied cormorant and white-bellied sea eagle.

Cane River. A unique community of seasonally inundated coolibah (Euc. victrix) over a mixed sedgeland comprised mainly of Cyperaceae, one of which may be undescribed.

Burrup Peninsula. Geologically simple but with relatively high and complex relief. Significant regional mangrove stands, particularly at Conzinc Bay, Cowrie Cove, Watering Cove, and adjacent to Dampier Salt Pond Zero intake. Valuable archaeological.

Offshore islands, Dampier to Onslow. Many seabird nesting records. Potter has a relatively large reptile fauna and two mammals as well, being large, with more complex habitats, and close to the mainland.

Basalt rockpiles, as fire refuges.

Burrup Peninsula. For flora

Islands, fauna refuges. A series of mammal or reptile species are restricted to islands of Roebourne subregion.
