Witjira National Park 

More photos   

Witjira National Park covers 7,770 km2 of gibber, sand dunes, stony tablelands and floodplain country on the western edge of the Simpson Desert in the far north of South Australia. This is home to the largest, most active artesian spring in Australia. The famous Dalhousie Mound Springs rises from the Great Artesian Basin and is the main feature in this vast 776,900ha dessert landscape. The springs, combined with some delightful camping spots and upgraded visitor facilities, make Witjira one of the most popular Desert Parks, particularly with family groups.

The best time to visit is from April to October.
