Just nothing, empty. Even our driest states have an amazing amount of greenery when you look, not much trees but a lot of bushes. Is that the case here? Did something happen here. There definitely must be a story.
Hi everyone. Thanks for your comments. In answer to Shutterbug's question:- I think what happened here was colonialism. When Adelaide was settled the early settlers spread out from Adelaide in all directions. A lot of them dispersed during several really good seasons- weather wise- and established settlements and farming properties. They cleared lots of the vegetation. Poor seasons followed and many of their properties were found to have poor, stony soil and little available water. Many of the settlers deserted their settled areas, and, as the native vegetation had been removed, there were large expanses left looking like this - only usually they are dry, stony and barren. It's annual rainfall is about 10 inches.
