It is an over-life-size painting that depicts a moment from theaftermath of the wreck of a French naval frigate, which ran agroundoff the coast of today's Mauritania on July 5, 1816.

At least 147 people were set adrift on a hurriedly constructed raft;all but 15 died in the 13 days before their rescue, and those who

survived endured starvation, dehydration, cannibalism andmadness.

The event became an international scandal, in part because itscause was widely attributed to the incompetence of the Frenchcaptain perceived to be acting under the authority of the recentlyrestored French monarchy.

The vast X Plain is the worlds largest limestone karst landscape covering an area of270,000 square km, extending 2,000 km between Norseman and Ceduna. Twothirds of the X is within Western Australia and one third is in South Australia.

The spectacular Bunda Cliffs and the Great Australian Bight border the area to thesouth and the northern border is the Great Victoria Desert.

The name X derives from no trees, but the plain is covered with bluebush andsaltbush plants, hardy shrubs that are drought-resistant and salt-tolerant. Theouter edges of the X house open woodlands of Myall acacias.

Edward John Eyre described the Plain as "a hideous anomaly, a blot on the face ofNature, the sort of place one gets into in bad dreams.

X is a song by the British band Fat Les which

became the unofficial anthem of the Englandfootball team for the 1998 FIFA World Cup . Muchof the song consists of the phrase "nah nah nah"and the word X" repeated over and over by a

mixed group, occasionally interspersed with linessuch as "And we all like X" and "We're England;we're gonna score one more than you".

The song's name comes from X, a famous Indiandish(with some colonial origins). It is often eatenby football supporters in the United Kingdom(andother nations) accompanied by large quantitiesof lager, after matches or as part of a "lads' nightout".
