Murray-Sunset National Park

Murray-Sunset National Park extends across 633,000 hectares of semi-arid terrain, featuring salt lakes, sand dunes, and mallee woodland ecosystems.

The park incorporated Pink Lakes State Park in 1999, where salt harvesting operations extracted 10,000 tons annually between 1916 and 1975.

The land contains numerous Aboriginal sites and artifacts that demonstrate the continuous presence of Indigenous communities throughout the centuries.

Visitors need to bring sufficient water supplies and navigation equipment, as the remote location offers limited facilities and mobile coverage.

The Pink Lakes change color throughout the year due to microscopic algae containing beta-carotene pigments in the water.
