Spinifex and Pingao. Native sand binders on Farewell Spit
The native sand binding plants near the lighthouse on Farewell Spit are flourishing now.
The photo above is of female spinifex plants near the lighthouse at the end of Farewell Spit. The spiny heads break off and the wind spreads the seed. The male plant below has much smaller flowers.
