Desert wildflower detail, outback South Australia

Detail of yellow flowers on a tiny succulent plant growing on sand in the desert of outback South Australia after good rains in 2010. Sporadic rainfall in this usually arid environment leads to the emergence and flowering of a large variety of plants that may have remained dormant for years

Sunrise at the Top of Wave Rock (Hyden Rock), Hyden, Western Australia

Wave Rock is a natural rock formation that is shaped like a tall breaking ocean wave. The wave forms the north side of a solitary hill, which is known as Hyden Rock'. Wave Rock and Hyden Rock are part of Hyden Wildlife Park.
A wall lies above Wave Rock about halfway up Hyden Rock and follows the contours of the wall. It collects and funnels rainwater to a storage dam. The wall and dam were constructed in December 1928 by the Public Works Department for the original settlers of East Karlgarin District. Both were renovated in 1951 to increase water capacity for the Hyden Township
