Description
It is the largest National Park in Western Australia and the second largest in Australia. It is one of the best examples of an undisturbed desert ecosystem in Australia, and quite possibly the world.
The park follows the course of the Rudall River which rises in rugged hills then flows north east through sand-dune country into Lake Dora on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. It is a vast wilderness area and has a number of different environments ranging from the craggy Throssel and Broadhurst Ranges to the huge expanses of the Lake Dora and Lake Blanche salt lakes.
The park is dissected longitudinally by the Rudall river which contains a system of permanent water holes along with ephemeral and semi-ephemeral water courses. The presence of these means that the park has an usually rich and diverse range of flora and fauna, including frogs, birds, mammals and a great array of reptiles.
