Far North, Administrative region in South Australia, Australia

The Far North region extends across 799,850 square kilometers, representing 80 percent of South Australia's total land mass with four distinct sub-regions.

The establishment of Port Augusta as a central service hub marked the development of Far North's infrastructure, connecting various remote communities across the region.

Indigenous communities maintain strong connections to their ancestral lands throughout the Far North, particularly in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara territories.

Travelers require specific permits to access Aboriginal lands and need a Desert Parks Pass to visit conservation areas like Witjira National Park.

The region contains multiple deserts, including the Simpson, Tirari, Painted, and Pedirka, making it one of Australia's most arid territories.
