One of the hottest, driest places on Earth transforms into a watery oasis for pelicans.
In years of heavy rain, the inhospitable Australian outback transforms into a surprising oasis for Australia's pelicans. They leave coastal homes for the outback. The abundance of food and water makes it the perfect place to breed and raise families.
