Munga-Thirri National Park, Protected sand dunes expanse in Queensland, Australia.
Red sand formations extend across 1,012,000 hectares of Queensland's outback, with dunes reaching heights of 90 meters and lengths of 200 kilometers.
The National Parks Association of Queensland initiated the establishment of this conservation area in 1965, leading to its official designation in 1967.
Aboriginal communities developed survival techniques in this desert environment by digging water collection points between the sand dunes over generations.
The park requires four-wheel-drive vehicles and remains closed from December through March due to temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius.
At Poeppel Corner within the park boundaries, visitors can position themselves simultaneously in Queensland, South Australia, and Northern Territory.
