Landscapes of the Australian Outback

The Australian Outback is beautiful, indeed, but is a very harsh environment, with huge periods of drought.

Fires, whether natural or as part of Aboriginal land management practices, are a part of life out here, and while most plants reap the benefits, there are always casualties.


Most of the flora is small and compact, allowing for uninterrupted views of the horizon.


River beds, normally dry except during rain storms, are one of the few areas where trees, such as these gums, grow taller than you might expect.
