Australian flora

Australian flora is uniquely diverse, adapted to its often harsh environment. It includes iconic plants like eucalyptus trees, with their aromatic leaves and distinctive bark, and acacias, known as wattles, with vibrant yellow flowers. Many species are drought-resistant, with deep roots and tough leaves to conserve water. The landscape features a mix of forests, deserts, and coastal vegetation, supporting a wide array of wildlife. Indigenous peoples have used native plants for food, medicine, and tools for thousands of years. Australian flora's resilience and distinctiveness reflect the continent’s isolated evolution and varied climates.
