A habitat is a place where plants and animals naturally live.

There are five main habitat types in Central Australia: sandhills, creeks, plains, woodlands and hills. Each type of habitat also has a name in aboriginal languages. This table gives the English, Arrernte and Luritja names for each habitat:
