Vast arid outback reserve protecting fragile desert ecosystems in far northwestern New South Wales

Sturt National Park

Sturt National Park is a sprawling 325,329-hectare protected area located in the arid far north-western corner of New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1972, the park was created from five former pastoral properties and honors Charles Sturt, the colonial explorer who spent a year in the area during his search for a fabled inland sea. The landscape is quintessential outback, featuring flat reddish-brown plains, distinctive mesas called the Olive Downs or Jump Ups, gibber stony plains, and in the far west, the sandhills of the Strzelecki Desert. The park is notable for its ecological significance, hosting a remarkable diversity of wildlife despite the harsh desert environment, and for the Wild Deserts conservation program that is reintroducing several locally extinct mammal species. The Dingo Fence runs along the park's northern boundary, and Cameron Corner, where three Australian states meet, is a popular remote destination within the park.
