A Flinders Ranges Sunrise - a photo on Flickriver

            Some 70% of Australia is classified as arid or semi-arid and it is readily apparent why the central arid areas of Australia are referred to as the Red Centre.
The early morning clouds failed to deliver on their visual promise of rain.
The Xanthorrhoea plants seen here are uniquely Australian and are known as the Black Boy plant or Balga Grass plants – ‘Balga’ is the Aboriginal word for black boy.
These grass plants are slow growing and some older specimens are among the oldest living plants in the world. They can live for hundreds of years with some found to be up to 600 years old, and a plant with a metre long trunk may already be 100 years old.
It was invaluable to Aborigine people as it was a source of food, building material and drink – soaking in a trough of water extracted a thick sweet nectar which was either drunk as is or allowed to ferment for 3-5 days to produce an alcoholic brew.
