Arranged on the pole at dif­fer­ent heights accord­ing to flood lev­els are a bur­row­ing frog, shield shrimp and span­gled grunter. These are all crea­tures unique to Cen­tral Aus­tralia that rely on flood­ing of the region to mul­ti­ply and are not nor­mal­ly thought of to be in a desert land­scape. At the base of the mark­er is infor­ma­tion on the impact of flood­ing on each of these crea­tures. This art­work was com­mis­sioned by Alice Springs Town Council.
