West Australia Mining History Catalog West Australia Mining History Geological Survey of Western Australia (Perth) While some of these individual items do not qualify as strictly Mining History as in the other Mining History catalogs on this website, they do represent the early mining activity of Western Australia. Although these items have individual prices, I wish to keep them together as a rare collection set. The current asking price is $ 3000. The rarity, early dates of publication, and the color plates in a number of these bulletins, (which could be and probably should be framed) are the reasons for the price.
