Lake Gairdner National Park

Lake Gairdner National Park spans 5,531 square kilometers, containing three major salt lakes surrounded by red sand hills and native vegetation.

The Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources established Lake Gairdner National Park in 1991 to protect the salt lake system and local ecosystems.

The Kokatha people maintain strong connections to this land, which includes sacred ceremonial sites and reflects their traditional customs and practices.

Visitors need to obtain permits and keys from Mount Ive Station to access the park, bringing essential supplies as no facilities exist except Waltumba Campground.

The Glenloth Gold Battery Site at the western end near Lake Harris holds archaeological importance and registration in the South Australian Heritage Register.
