Malba
Malba lies in the dry country towards the western edge of the Nullarbor. Ngadju country includes eucalypt woodland, mallee, salt lakes and rock outcrops across this part of southern Australia. Ngadju names for woodland trees include malinyu for salmon gum and kupara for Dundas blackbutt. Rock holes, known as mijalkarru, hold water in a landscape where permanent surface water is scarce.
