There's a difference between soil and dirt. Even with adequate water, few
plant species do well in the Outback. You'd have to wait a very long time
for the soil condition to build up. It's a moot point anyway, the long term
forecast is for the west coast of Australia to get wetter and the interior
to become drier.
