It's incredibly dry... in my town, we've not had enough rain for years.. but when it does come, there's too much and floods ruin things.
But basically, the only way gorgeous flowers burst out of the ground is if you carefully plant them at the exact right time months before, and carefully look after them, hoping the summer before didn't burn them to death, the ground didn't dry so hard that everything gave up etc. It's precarious rare beauty to see.
Australia truly is a desert mostly after all, the Europeans tried to make it like Europe, all lush and green over 200 years ago but now we're paying the price...
