Lake Eyre National Park

Lake Eyre National Park is a large protected area in central Australia centered around Lake Eyre, the continent’s largest salt lake. When filled with water, the lake becomes a vital habitat for migrating birds, especially pelicans and ibises. The surrounding park features deserts, sand dunes, and salt flats, offering unique landscapes and biodiversity. Although the lake is usually dry, when filled, it creates a striking, ephemeral environment that supports various wildlife. The area is also notable for its remote, pristine wilderness, attracting visitors interested in birdwatching, photography, and experiencing the stark beauty of Australia’s interior.
