We visited the Museum of the Desert – just outside of Alice Springs. (This museum is very similar to the one in Palm Springs, California.)
One of the exhibits was a termite nest. In some areas of the desert region you see 10s to a hundred of these termite nests per acre. For that reason, many of the electric and telephone poles are made out of metal in the desert region. Wooden poles are quickly eaten.
