There is more space and solitude in this enormous semi-arid park than you could imagine. The rolling red sand dunes of the Strzelecki Desert ripple through the western section, graduating past surprising wetlands, over the famous Jump-Up country, through remnant Gidgee Woodland and vast stone-covered plains in the east. Magnificent 400-million-year-old granite tors surround Tibooburra.

Hardy local residents include red and grey kangaroos, emus and a huge diversity of reptiles and birds. Enjoy the self-guided loop drives accessible by 2WD or go 4WD trekking along the Middle Road, passing through uniquely diverse landscape with lookouts along the way providing magnificent views. Explore the walks at Fort Grey, Olive Downs, Dead Horse Gully and to the Mt Wood summit - most are easy to moderate and allow for a short loop walk of 1 to 3 hours.

Things to do include the scenic loop drive, 4wd trekking, bushwalking, camping, birdwatching and photography. Facilities include camping grounds, public toilets, picnic facilities and walking tracks. For disability information please visit the park's website.
