Flowers of the Alice Springs Desert Park

Amazing to see that flowers can actually survive this cruel enviroment.
The desert park did have several underground watering systems, however I believe that the water did come from artesian bores.
We were told Alice Springs relys on artesian bores. The water is soft, lovely to drink and shower with.

This red flower with black eyes is the Sturt's Desert Pea,( Floral Emblem of South Australia) first time I have seen it growing.

I bought my mother a tea towel with this flower on in.

Alice Springs Desert Park

We hired a car and visited the Alice Springs Desert Park.
A tourist attraction which allows people to see for themselves without wandering out in the desert and getting lost.
See many desert plants and birds and noctorial animals in protected showrooms.
This took my fancy the "lazy lizard lounge".
Natures carving Knife and the stone they used. No going do to the local hardware or Bunnings to get a knife, or chainsaw.

This is the rock used for making carving knife.
