Their population is spread over nine local communities in an arid landscape of red soil , spinifex grass , mulga shrubs and desert oaks .

Cities of this kind are like hummocks of spinifex , or porcupine grass , whose centre eventually collapses , leaving live rings surrounding a dead middle .

这类城市就像是一丛丛的滨刺草或者箭猪草一样，中心已经枯死而留下一圈活体环绕着死去的中心部分。
