I would have expected a lower altitude tropical location to have scrub or scattered trees if it had enough rain for grass.

It's the part of the Western Australian coast where the Great Sandy Desert meets the Indian Ocean.
Rainfall is notoriously unreliable, and is mostly summer based, with the majority falling as a result of the passage of Tropical Cyclones ( as was the case with my photos ). Pretty well all spinifex country, which does green up nicely after good rains. This part of the WA coast is possibly the most Cyclone prone region in Australia ( between Broome and Exmouth )
