Lake Torrens National Park
The stark wilderness and the salt lake that stretches 250km in length make up the Lake Torrens National Park.
Lake Torrens is usually a dry salt flat. It has only been filled with water once in the past 150 years. Thunderstorms occasionally provide a small amount of water in the lake, when this occurs the area attracts a variety of birdlife.
The park's landscape provides opportunities for photography and studying geology.
