The Setting
The Wild Southwest is set in the south western corner of Western Australia, roughly 80 years after an apocalyptic worldwide conflict known as the Great War. Civilisation has re-established itself, and the majority of people can (usually) live lives of relative safety - if not exactly comfort. But for those who seek something more exciting, the opportunity for adventure abounds.

The Wild Southwest in Google Earth
The ultimate map of the Wild Southwest is this Google Earth file. Load it into your copy of Google Earth, and go exploring (you'll probably want to turn off all the other data layers first - otherwise it can get pretty confusing).
Every major settlement in the Southwest is marked along with its population. Many markers can be clicked to bring up additional information - you can recognise these by the fact that they're labled in white. Sealed roads (maintained to an almost pre-war standard with great effort) are marked in red. Secondary, unsealed roads are in yellow. The Mount Barker railway, and the D'Entrecasteaux Wood Line are blue.
Updated versions of the file will be posted periodically.
