We scrambled over the rocky dunes, careful to avoid the sharp tufts of spinifexes.

On the windswept dunes, spinifex formed dense hummocks that trapped sand and provided shelter for shorebirds.

While hiking through the arid scrub, I watched a spinifex pigeon bobbing along between the rocks.

At dusk, a feral goat grazed on a patch of buck spinifex, startling the hikers nearby.

At dawn, a pair of spinifex pigeons cooed softly from a sunbaked shrub.
