Mallee is a variety of eucalyptus especially suited to low rainfall areas. The Mungo National Park is World Heritage Listed. New South Wales, Australia. Canon 500D, zoom lens.

Taken at Wilpena Pound on the final day of my South Australian photography tour. One of Australia's most beautiful parrots and not an easy subject to catch.
