Lake Frome

Lake Frome National Park, established in 1991 and upgraded to national park status in 2021, encompasses the entire Lake Frome, an expansive endorheic salt lake in South Australia's Northern Flinders Ranges. Spanning approximately 2,582 square kilometers, the park is renowned for its unique geological features and arid salt lake system, representing rare and little-known environments of national significance. Access is limited to a single, rough four-wheel-drive track originating from the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park headquarters at Balcanoona station, traversing flat, stony terrain and crossing both the Moomba-Adelaide natural gas pipeline and the dingo fence before reaching the western shore of Lake Frome. Due to its cultural significance, the Adnyamathanha Aboriginal people prohibit public access to the lake's surface.
