A slightly weathered park sign titled "Great survivors" from the West MacDonnell National Park. The sign features text describing the resilient native flora of the region, including "tough, fire-tolerant mallee and spiky spinifex" found on the limestone. It highlights the area as home to an endangered native mouse. Illustrations of two small, grey native mice are prominent on the sign, one on the left and one on the right, set against a stylized background depicting the local environment. The sign also includes a logo of a bird in flight and the words "West MacDonnell National Park" at the bottom.

in the red centre
hardy survivors
stinting spinifex
miserly mallee
thrifty rockrats
and frugal euro

 

saw the spinifex, mallee and one scampering rockrat
on that ghost gum walk
but no euro
signomi, parakalo
