Red gum trees. They "suck" up the water underneath the ground and stop the salt from ancient oceans reaching the surface. The water shoots up the trunk and is then exerted through the leaves where it evaporates into the air.

However, people are cutting down these important trees and the salt is rising to the surface at an alarming rate. Already kilometres of land have been deserted because it is unfit for other plants to grow and unsuitable for habitation. Many animals have died because of this.
