Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park

The salt lake within the national park extends across 144 kilometers in length and 77 kilometers in width, forming a vast white expanse.

The national park, established in 1985, received its current name in 2013 to recognize the traditional Aboriginal designation of the area.

The Arabana Aboriginal people maintain active involvement in managing the park through a co-management agreement established with government environmental authorities in 2012.

Access to the park requires a Desert Parks Pass, and visitors need four-wheel drive vehicles to navigate the remote terrain safely.

During rare flooding events, which occur approximately every eight years, the salt pan transforms into a water basin that draws numerous bird species.
