This false-color satellite image shows the Kumbunbur Creek in Australia's Northern Territory, about 260 km southwest of the city of Darwin. The green 'branches' of what looks like a tree are the waterways of runoff that flow into the Timor Sea. The false-color makes vegetation appear bright red, revealing how vegetation grows mainly along the waterways. Vegetation is more evenly dispersed across the plain to the north. The image was captured by the Kompsat-2 satellite on 20 September 2011, near the end of the dry season. The dry areas with a somewhat dull color in this image become flooded mudflats during the rainy season.
