Two possible explanations:

1. Acacia Carnei a hardy plant..is usually the last plant to keel over in a severe drought.

2. During severe drought when its the only plant left the rabbits eat there way up into the bush and eventually get caught up in the branches and die there.
Yes I cheated (did a google search) but still an interesting one thanks Harry.
