The tarmac scorched a black trail through an interminably flat landscape of spinifex bush. |
We turned east for ten miles to a range, which we found to be covered with spinifex. |
Its 6000 strong population in the 1960s on the gibber and spinifex plain also enjoyed more than 3000 hours of sunshine a year. |
This creates ideal conditions for grasses, spinifex and other vegetation to grow, providing fuel for big bushfires. |
Walk past spinifex along the sandy bed of ancient watercourses to Hugh Gorge, where you can swim in deep waterholes and set up camp in the shade. |
Alex had stood on the rocks above him, and could see the blood trickling out from beneath the spinifex tussocks. |
