Abstract

Context:
This paper is one of a series on the natural history of Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve on the south coast of Western Australia.

Methods:
Landforms and soils of the Reserve were mapped by W. M. McArthur and G. A. Bartle in the mid- to late 1980s with some verification by K. A. Evans in 2023–2024.

Key results:
A map of the landforms and soils of the Reserve is presented. The complex and variable topography and soils have arisen through a combination of in-situ weathering processes, transportation of dune sands, and lacustrine deposition.

Conclusions:
The topography and soils of the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve are complex and variable.

Implications:
The distribution of the landforms and soils of the Reserve can be explained by the geological and geomorphological framework described in the paper.
