Flora and fauna is a subject close to our hearts here at Ausemade. In Australia, we have a diverse range of flora and fauna that are unique to this continent. In Australia there is an amazing array of life from the tiniest of insects to the huge whales that swim up and down our coastline, from the smallest of plants to the enormous and in some cases trees from a prehistoric era. Even in our own backyards, we can be surprised and delighted by what grows and lives there.
The arid heart of Central Australia is a beautiful region encompassing endless outback roads, flat horizons, spectacular ranges (some extending for some 600 kms), gorges, chasms, gaps, monolith rocks, huge salt pans, claypans, dry river beds and permanent water holes.
Far from being devoid of life, the region is brimming with unique flora and fauna. During the dry seasons that extend into drought, life clings on, and when the rain falls, sometimes so heavy that former dry river beds become raging torrents, mother nature goes into hyper drive and the landscape will turn green, wildflowers and wildlife appear in abundance.
Whether it is the marsupials, mammals, reptiles, birds, desert fish, frogs, insects, wildflowers, trees and shrubs… there is life everywhere.
