Journey to the heart of Australia’s arid interior at Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park, a place of dramatic contrasts where salt-crusted plains can transform into an immense wetland teeming with birdlife after heavy rains.

Australia’s largest salt lake and the continent’s lowest point at 15.2 metres below sea level, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre has filled to capacity only three times in the past 160 years. Its ancient red dunes, rare wildlife and rich Aboriginal heritage make each visit a truly memorable experience.

As part of South Australia’s protected landscapes, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park is managed in partnership with Arabana and Dieri people to safeguard cultural heritage and conserve precious natural environments for current and future generations.

Play a vital role in preserving this extraordinary place by staying on marked tracks, taking litter home and respecting areas of cultural significance. Recreational access to the lake bed isn’t permitted, but you can still soak up spectacular views from designated lookouts, Halligan Bay Campground or from the air.

Check the latest Desert Parks Bulletin before planning your trip and prepare thoroughly for outback travel with a 4WD and plenty of supplies.
