DESTINATION: Lake Eyre NP

Lake Eyre NP covers 12 250km and is located 760km north of Adelaide. The park comprises Lake Eyre and the Tirari Desert, noted for its sand dunes and salt lakes.

At 15m below sea level Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia, it is also the largest salt lake on the continent at over 340km. The area is considered one of the harshest environments in Australia; it is remarkably transformed when occasionally it fills with water. Then, it is home to fish and a multitude of waterbirds. Camping is permitted; permits are available at the National Parks and Wildlife office in Port Augusta or the William Creek store.
