Sturt's Desert Peas






STURT'S DESERT PEAS


Over many trips
and wide outback
ventures we only ever saw
these beauties flowering
in the planted garden
by the Ranger's Hut
at King's Canyon
or in the circle garden
of the Big Roundabout on
the Stuart Highway in
downtown Alice.

It was as if
the highlighted
main feature of
the outback myth
was a myth.
