Lake Gairdner carpark

Lake Gairdner National Park, situated north of the Gawler Ranges, encompasses Australia's third-largest salt lake, Lake Gairdner, along with Lake Everard and Lake Harris. The park features a vast saline lake system surrounded by red sand hills, with salt layers up to one meter thick in some areas. The glistening, white salt surface is bordered by the red foothills of the Gawler Ranges. Visitors can access the park via the Waltumba Tank campground, which is accessible to vehicles with high ground clearance. Camping is free, and no online booking is required.
