Solitary Paddock Boulder at Tungkillo, South Australia Patrick Prior

This rock stands alone on the crest of a hill in a paddock in Tungkillo, South Australia. Much alike Pride Rock, this boulder overlooks vast rolling hills and makes for a fantastic pedestal for the odd magpie or even sheep. With fluffy white clouds in the backdrop, this rock likely houses many an insect and provides shelter for sheep in the rain, or a brilliant sunbathing position. The rock proudly juts out above the grasses, likely Great Brome (Bromus diandrus), squirrel-tail fescue (Vulpia bromoides), Barley Grass (Hordeum leporinum), and other similar grasses, not allowing itself to be swallowed into the depths of the floor. Above the rock is a singular flying insect, likely a Western or European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) which is a joy to farmers, but a nuisance to the native Australian bees. While these honey bees are fantastic for harvesting honey and indiscriminately pollinating any flower they encounter, these bees wake up from the colder months earlier than many species of the native Australian bees and strip the pollen from the flowers before the natives wake up.
