Shrubs and Trees of the Great Victoria Desert

$12

Australia’s largest desert, the Great Victoria, is a place of extremes — scorching temperatures, sparse rainfall, and vast expanses of red sand, stony plains, and dry salt lakes. However, the term ‘desert’ is
somewhat misleading as the region is heavily vegetated with extraordinary biodiversity, in marked contrast to the Simpson Desert in north-eastern South Australia.

This comprehensive field guide explores the diverse shrubs and trees that thrive in the Great Victoria Desert that straddles the Western Australia – South Australia border north of the Nullarbor Plain. The field guide features detailed descriptions, vivid photographs, and practical tips to assist with identifying some of the more common plants of the Great Victoria Desert.
