Dreaming

Many different grass varieties are found in the Utopia region. A reddish grass about fifteen centimetres high grows in the spinifex sand plains and sandhills. It is found throughout the year but is particularly abundant after rain, although it is not as plentiful since Europeans introduced cattle and rabbits to the land. Learn more here.
