The Story of Rosy Dock

The plant rosy dock is not native to Australia. A newcomer who settled in the desert area of central Australia planted it in her garden. After each rare period of rain the desert blossoms, and over the years the seeds of this plant from the other side of the world have blown their way across south, central, and Western Australia.

In a book of extraordinary beauty, using her signature collage illustrations, Jeannie Baker shows nature at work in the ancient landscape of the Finke River, and the story of rosy dock takes place before the reader's eyes.
