" Mulla Mulla "
It doesn't ask permission. One rain, and suddenly the spinifex plain is soft. Tall pink tails standing together, swaying in the heat haze, catching the late light until the whole flat glows.
That's what makes it beautiful. It's not a flower that waits for gentle country. It blooms in the hardest place, and for a few weeks it makes the Pilbara look like it is remembering how to be kind.
