The Central Lowlands or Midland Valley is a geologically defined area of low-lying land in southern Scotland. It consists of a rift valley between the Highland Boundary Fault to the north and the Southern Uplands Fault to the south; the Central Lowlands are one of the three main geographical sub-divisions of Scotland, the other two being the Highlands and Islands which lie to the north and the Southern Uplands, which lie south of the associated second fault line. The Central Lowlands is underlain by Paleozoic formations. Many of these sedimentary rocks have economic significance for it is here that the coal and iron bearing rocks that fueled Scotland's industrial revolution are to be found; this area has experienced intense volcanism, Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh being the remnant of a once much larger volcano active in the Carboniferous period some 300 million years ago. This area is low-lying, although here hills such as the Ochils and Campsie Fells are far from view. In common with the rest of Scotland the whole region was affected by Pleistocene glaciations.

The Highland Boundary Fault runs from North Glen Sannox on the Isle of Arran in the south and west through the Isle of Bute and Helensburgh forms the northern boundary of Strathmore before reaching Stonehaven in the north east. The fault was active during the Caledonian orogeny, a plate tectonic collision which took place from Mid Ordovician to Mid Devonian periods, during the closure of the Iapetus Ocean; the fault allowed the Midland Valley to descend as a major rift by as much as 4000 metres and there was subsequently vertical movement. This earlier vertical movement was replaced by a horizontal shear; the Southern Uplands Fault runs from the Rhins of Galloway in the west towards Dunbar on the east coast 30 miles from Edinburgh. A productive combination of fertile low-lying agricultural land and significant deposits of economically valuable coal and iron have led to the Central Lowlands being much more densely populated than the rest of Scotland; the major cities of Glasgow, Stirling and Dundee all lie in the Central Lowlands, over half of Scotland's population lives in this region.

Nanga Brook is a former town located in the Peel region of Western Australia in the Lane-Poole Reserve between Dwellingup and Waroona. The area was home to a milling town that operated from about 1900 until the 1961 Western Australian bushfires. Timber was taken from the area as early as 1898, in 1902 a lease was granted to Yarloop-based Millars Karri & Jarrah Company; the Nanga Mill was the biggest in the area for many years, at times employing over 100 men. In 1909 a townsite was laid out and built by Millars, complete with 56 homes and several other lodgings, a store, hall, billiard room and school. Three tennis courts and a sports oval were added; the two World Wars affected production with many of the mill workers either fighting overseas or serving in home defence. The Great Depression saw many mill hands leave the area as wages were not covering food and other necessities. In 1941, the original mill burnt down, a new, smaller mill requiring only 16 workers was built. At the time of the fires, Nanga Brook was in trouble, unable to compete with the Dwellingup mill.

The fires in January and February 1961 devastated the countryside. A massive appeal was mounted through Perth and eastern states newspapers by the Australian Red Cross and other charities meeting with a generous response, which ensured the workers and their families were able to rebuild their lives. However, there was no reason for them to return to Nanga Brook, in 1962, the Governor General declared the end of the town; the area was replanted with stands of pine by the Forests Department, who promoted it as a camping and picnic spot. The Lane-Poole Reserve is a 55,000 ha forest reserve with stands of jarrah, wandoo and blackbutt, it combined six previous reserves and was gazetted in 1984, with a management plan being approved in 1990 The most popular parts of the reserve are those near to the Murray River, one of the few undammed rivers in this part of Western Australia with natural waterfalls and rock pools along its length. The most popular campsites are Baden Powell, Nanga Mill and Charlie's Flat, followed by Tony's Bend and Yarragil, while Icy Creek Environmental Education Camp offers built accommodation for students and community groups.

Only one or two roads in the area are sealed, a CALM issues paper has identified this as a matter to be rectified, along with the overuse of non-designated campsites, visitor behaviour and safety, dogs in the reserve and firewood collection
