Western Australia is one of the driest parts of the world though after the rainy season or what the Aussies call the big wet there are millions of flowers and native plants that spring into life for just a short time only and then they seed and then die until the next big wet to awaken the next seed generation. All along the roadside are colorful flowers which attract the beautiful native birds to feast off the fruits and seeds. The birds fly off carrying a belly full of seed and then poop in another part of the desert which delivers the seeds to random parts of the dessert. When the big wet happens there are not only plants and flowers that spring to life but also some of the native wildlife. There are certain species of frogs that burrow underground with a sac full of water to protect them during the drier months and these can hibernate for up to 25 years at a time while they wait for the next rain to wake them. Some of the frogs were estimated to be up to 100 years old yet had only spent a few years on the surface in a conscious state.

There are so many interesting things to see and learn about in the Australian outback and Western Australia is a great place to start looking. You can hire a car or 4WD to get you around and then follow the tourist signs that are everywhere to show you where to go to find something new or out of the ordinary. I even saw a documentary about crocodiles that hibernate in burrows under dry river beds waiting for the rains to fill the rivers and then awaken the slumbering crocs.
