??Olearia floribunda??

One of several very mature small trees on site.

I think.

Mix of life under turned inter-tidal granite rock but SUBJECT species is best seen atop the low ~ central black periwinkle(with others on rock surface @ lower L).

Small woody shrub about 30cm high

A common medium height sheoak species around Tarcoola. (At most other sites we visited in the wider region the dominant sheoak was Casuarina pauper)

Another example of this common taxon around salt pans and on sand mounds towards middle of some smaller salt pans.

I think?

Very erect tough woody shrubs thriving on small sandy mounds on the otherwise flat and featureless white to pale grey-brown salt lake at this location.

Common here around edges of saltpans (which are mainly composed of salts other than sodium chloride, judging by the lack of salty taste using the fingertip to tongue test)

Quite common in the area concerned

Poor photo but the ants were very small black ants, similar in gross appearance to the ones often found invading kitchens.
