Mulga Refuge TR243376
The main base during waterhole operations for emerald green budgerigars and pink and grey galahs is a grand old mulga tree. Whenever a predatory bird flew past, the birds dashed to the tree for safety. Acacia aneura, also known as mulga or true mulga, is a shrub or small tree native to arid outback areas of Australia. It is the dominant tree in the habitat to which it gives its name, mulga, and it occurs across much of inland Australia. Specific regions have been designated as the Western Australian mulga shrublands in Western Australia and Mulga Lands in Queensland.
