Lake Torrens National Park, Salt lake reserve in South Australia
Lake Torrens National Park contains a massive salt lake stretching 250 kilometers in length with a maximum width of 30 kilometers.
Edward Eyre first documented Lake Torrens during his 19th-century explorations and named it after Colonel Robert Torrens, while local Kuyani people call it Ngarndamukia.
The Supreme Court recognized Lake Torrens as a sacred site in 2016, confirming its importance to Kokatha, Adnyamathanha/Kuyani, and Barngarla Aboriginal communities.
Visitors need permission to access the park through local pastoral stations, with the main route going through Mulgaría Station from Leigh Creek to Andamooka.
The salt lake has filled with water only once in 150 years, creating an environment where occasional thunderstorms attract numerous bird species.
