Good exposure to some things Australian, so I'm saving it for the grandkids. A rather ambiguous message about indigenous vs introduced species and building on the floodplain, etc. - teaching the controversy, as they say, I suppose. ( ) A description of the Finke River area of Australia -- how hot and dry it is -- and unchanging. But how some settlers introduced a plant with beautiful red seed pods called rosy dock. An unusual rain storm occurs, causing massive flooding, after which the desert suddenly bloomed for a short period, revealing the spread of rosy dock "like a great red blanket" over the desert. Notes on the last page talk about the introduction of alien plants and their spread. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The Australian desert: for thousands of years the only changes here were made by the wind, the willy-willies and sometimes the rain. Then a hundred years ago people from Europe settled in the desert and planted seeds from the other side of the world. The Story of Rosy Dock is the story of one of the settlers who followed them, and her garden in the wilderness, a garden that is beautiful - but with an unexpected flowering.
