Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Lake Gairdner National Park, where the stark contrast of glistening salt lakes against red sand hills awaits. Venture into this unique landscape to witness Australia's third-largest salt lake and its over 200 islands. While camping facilities are limited, the park offers a tranquil escape amid the wilderness.

When to go

The best time to visit Lake Gairdner National Park is during the cooler months, from April to October, to avoid the extreme heat. Winter provides clear skies and milder temperatures, ideal for exploring. Summer visits can be challenging due to high temperatures and accessibility issues after rain.

  • Be prepared for remote travel with sufficient water, food, and emergency supplies.
  • Respect the cultural significance of the area and adhere to guidelines regarding the salt lakes and wildlife.
  • Remember, dogs are not permitted in the park, ensuring the protection of native fauna.
