Lake Gairdner National Park

Lake Gairdner National Park is a protected area in South Australia that consists of three salt lakes.

While the country is typically arid and lacks water sources, it becomes a haven for birdwatchers and botanists during the springtime when wildflowers bloom and migratory birds visit. Access to the park is limited due to surrounding pastoral leases, but the Yardea to Kingoonya road provides the easiest access. The park holds historical and cultural significance to the Kokatha people, with traces of their occupation throughout the area. The Glenloth Gold Battery Site, located on the shore of Lake Harris, offers insight into the region's history. Lake Gairdner National Park is a must-visit destination for those seeking natural beauty, historical and cultural significance, and the experience of Australia's arid country.
