Savanna: this is typically, a grassland or woodland area. Inhabitants include: emus, red kangaroos, rabbit bandicoots, and parrots.

 Desert: this area is typically barren of vegetation and desert varieties of eucalptyus and acacia. Animals living here include: the marsupial moles, devil lizards, and parakeets. Notice that the desert barrier of the interior of Australia isolate the four corners of Australia.
