The Great Sandy Desert

The Great Sandy Desert is a vast, arid region in western Australia covering about 284,000 square kilometers. It features sweeping sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and limited water sources, typical of desert environments. Despite its harsh conditions, it supports some specialized plants and animals adapted to survive with minimal resources. The desert is part of the larger Western Desert and plays a key role in Australia's ecological diversity. It’s largely uninhabited, recognized for its striking landscapes and significant cultural importance to Indigenous Australians.
