Location and features

The district falls between the Princess May Range to the north and the Wunaamin-Miliwundi Ranges to the south, on the Kimberley's rugged Timor Sea coast, approximately 200 kilometres (120 mi) north-east of Derby and 400 kilometres (250 mi) west of Kununurra. No towns or former towns fall within the district, with the only notable non-natural feature being the former Kunmainya Aboriginal mission run by the Presbyterian Church of Australia.

History

It was first gazetted as the Kwinana Land District on 13 June 1906.[1] It was renamed on 22 August 1956 to Easton in order to avoid confusion with the new Kwinana industrial development south of Perth. The new name honoured William Easton, who in 1921 was the first European to traverse the Mitchell Plateau and led a state government expedition into the North Kimberley area.[2][3]

gollark: There are various problems with this:- massive increase of complexity in guns- you would need to recharge it constantly, and it would need batteries and such, and would generally be a hassle- GPS spoofing (possibly just jamming, depending on design) would stop guns working- people could probably just remove the geofencing bit- how are you planning to keep the "do not shoot here" lists updated on all of them?
gollark: I sent this mere *hours* ago.
gollark: Does the particular context of it change the meaning much? Or imply that you should only do that sometimes?
gollark: Language is hard, since it often deals with things which are hard to rigorously define in the first place, is subject to bizarre evolutionary pressures, and is often manipulated for argumentative gain.
gollark: ... why is it not embedding, bee you, Discord
