Thanks for that. It has taken a very long time to try and ID the plants. The books that I have used included:

A Filed Guide to Plants of the Channel Country Western Queensland

Wildflowers and Plants of Inland Australia

Field Guide to Australian Wildflowers

A Guide to Plants of Inland Australia

Cheers
